Liberals versus Leftists

[Catholic_Lady]

I disagree. I don't think it is at all offensive for me to think my husband is the best in the world, my best friend is the best in the world, my family is the best in the world, the color pink is the best in the world, and my country is the best in the world. Those are just my opinions. What may be best to/for me, may not be for someone else. It doesn't mean I "look down" on other people's husbands or families or whatever. Just that I think I have the best for me.

"Ah best for you" fair enough but just "best".

Imagine this scenario.

You have a co-worker who each and every day comes in and says loudly how he is the best worker.
After a while that would grate.
That's America.

Again, i dont think theres anything wrong with an american thinking that america is the best country.

If an American were to go to a different country and loudly proclaim "my country is the best country in the world", then yes, that would be rude. Just as it would be rude if I went up to another wife and said "my husband is the best husband in the world."

You can have your opinion without being a dick about it. Thats the same for everything.

Being white and loving my country doesn't make me a white nationalist.  White nationalism is offensive, being me...well, probably still offensive but not for the same reasons. 

It's possible to be patriot without also being a dick.  Plenty of people confuse the one for the other, I'm sure.

I would say that patriotism is also bad. That's how I feel. I don't think that one country should be considered better, look at the trouble this sort of feeling causes.

The feeling of counting my blessings and being grateful and being proud of my husband for what he does??

Yep, sounds awful...
