Can we as Americans truly say, "Proud to be an American" after all the horrible things we've done?

I am not proud to be an American because there is no reason to be proud you were born in a certain country. I am somewhat happy I was born in America, though that is starting to fade.

Im very proud, because after looking at it for a while i realized this is the best possible place to be born if i didn't want to be made into a stereo-type before being made aware of such a thing.

If you cant stick by your own colors, you should find a new flag. Your born a citizen of a country, your part of that country. You shouldnt be dissapointed of it

I don't suppose they teach American imperialism in schools, do they?

Actually they do, and I don't see why people want to turn back to isolationism. Just makes taking over the rest of the world take longer.

BAH! America has done NOTHING horrible. What was horrible? Hitler's Holocaust, Stalin's Gulags, Napoleon's Empire, Slavery (that we abolished quickly after New Zealand) Children labor (Damn Chinese) and among other things.

America is #1, in the 1800's we were not to be fucked with. We conquered from the atlantic to the pacific to prove ourselves to the world powers at the time. Then we saved the earth from the potential rule under Japan and Hitler. We have done nothing horrible, and will continue to shine as a beacon of hope for developing democratic and anti-communistic nations. You cannot be American w/o being proud of your home nation.

That made even me sick. I am hoping you were aiming for sarcasm with that.

Bal, he wasn't. He's chillzmaster, he's really that patriotic.

It's stupid to be proud of being born in a specific place. So I'm not.

You gang r*ped some Indians, you call that conquering?

Then we saved the earth from the potential rule under Japan and Hitler.

No, considering the Soviet Union did most of it, I don't know how you came to your conclusion.

We have done nothing horrible, and will continue to shine as a beacon of hope for developing democratic and anti-communistic nations.

Guantanamo, your so called conquest from the Atlantic to the Pacific,America had slavery legal for 200 years, you had your own concentration type camps in the civil war witch was used against both sides, carpet bombing German and Japanese civilians in wwii, bombing Vietnamese cities and shooting innocent civilians.
Did you forget about all that?

The only concentration camps I remember was when we locked away the Japs. At least we gave them $20k afterward though.

I am no longer proud to be an American. I am glad I am in America. But this president has disgraced us. He's spending us to heck. He's stopping manufacturing. He's going to make our children pay extremely high taxes. He's going to take over health care, but you still like him? You can overlook all his blunders and mistakes and drug use and illegal crime involvement (AKA Acorn), and you can look over the fact he wasn't born in American and all his relatives are in Africa and the fact that he didn't have a year of experience. He also wanted the United Nations to over power the Constitution! This country is going down, Obama wants it to be like all those other 3rd world countries. Obama isn't proud to be an American, he doesn't want to be an American. He doesn't want America! Hes taking away capitalism and forcing small businesses to hire and banks to lend loans. It's fascism. That's my little rant about wtf is wrong with our president. Not America, the president.
