WTH are you talking about? We fucked them first. Are you serious? You can't be an American with that rationale. In fact, it sickens me to read your post. Shame on you. The USA has done far more good in the world then any other damn country combined. Whether it be humanitarian aid or coming to the rescue of some crap country that couldn't give two shits about us. So let me ask, how is it OK for this culture of radicals to fly two planes into the trade center and murder hundreds of people? Did we overpopulate these countries with too many Mcdonalds or something? I'll tell you what, don't bother celebrating the 4th of July if your an American. You don't deserve too!
Well, there's a good example of what's wrong with a lot of people here.
You are denying the US has done ANY wrong, responding to specific wrongs with ranting that the US is the 'bestest nicest nation in the world' instead of discussing the issue.
So, let's take the US overthrowing the elected leader, ending democracy in Iran, and installing a brutal dictator. Was that putting too many McDonalds there?
Can you discuss why that was wrong, instead of only saying 'the US does a lot of good!'
Patriotism is making the country better, by recognizing when it's doing something wrong to fix it, not ignoring any problems.
