What is there to be particularly proud of in America?
If you like the political system over there you are mad. Ours is better and there are probably even better systems elsewhere.
I know you can't like the health system coz it's the worst in the developed world.
The social programmes suffer in comparison as well.
I've heard it said that America is the richest nation on earth but actually it's the most indebted.
It's not the worst nation in the world but is it something to be proud of now, in a post Bush world where the glitter has been blown off and all standards abandoned at the first sign of trouble?
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
