While I understand everyones frustration and agree 100% that we have serious problems, I am an American. I am proud of my country. We fight for it and I have a son serving now. Yes, the United States has made mistakes for hundreds of years and will for hundreds more. The US has also done too many wonderful thing to mention. There are alot of great Americans and we have welcomed many refugees from suffering countries. The USA has aided many, many causes around the globe both governmentally and from private wealthy citizens.
I am starting to have a problem with some of the comments here. Maybe I am over sensitive with the USA bashing. Maybe I am naive but there is no denying my patriotism. 9/11 is still fresh in our minds and never forgotten. Along with alot of pain, it unfortunatly opened the doors for big brother mentality. We, the people, have spoken and Dems are taking control. It is a step in a long process. I saw the current administration chipping away at our freedoms. That is not acceptable and we have spoken. The American people are a strong lot.
I hope everyone thinks before they post. Some of us live here.
Thank you for letting me vent and sorry if I am over-reacting!
Sincerely,
Paula
