Do you hate the U.S?

I love the U.S. i live here and am proud to be an American. But I know that there are a lot of things wrong with the country that need fixing. I also feel as though the U.S has butted its head into enough stuff that people have the right to hate the U.S. I just don't want them attacking and killing us. Remember its fine to hate our guts for stuff we did cuz i know that at least 30% of our population still hasn't forgotten the whole slavery thing. still waiting for my reparations.

Americans in general have rude attitudes, are noisy and boastful. They think they're better than everyone else and look down on people. I've flogged a few westerners in my time due to that way of thinking.

I honestly believe that the teabaggers are nothing more than racist bigots clinging to their bibles, banding together under the slogan of "less government", and echoing all of Glenn Becks talking points.

And I can confirm that is all these Tea Party Protesters are about. They are nothing more then a wolf in sheep clothing of the Republican party. I in fact went to the 9/12 Tea Party Rally at DC (but mistake, I was meeting a friend at American History Museum) and I was early and had some time to kill so I went around looking at these people. They are nothing more then slogan talking points.

I mean, when you push the question of "Where would you make cuts to have less government?" They start talking about less taxes and less government regulations which is in fact the main reason we are having the oil spill in the Gulf and the current economic problems due to less government regulations. Which is what the Republican party is all about and has been running on for the last couple of decades.

It was also about the current Health Care Bill that was going on in the Senate which became law earlier this year (or as they love to call it, Obamacare which I think is wrong cause you are only making a talking point by saying that so I don't refer to them as Tegbaggers unless they start using Obamacare). I swear, can they just go to Factcheck.org and Politifact.com for the information? That's where I got all my information for the Health Care bill and it debunks all the information they were spitting out. Where were these Tea Party Protester's when George W Bush was President? Oh no, when he was in charge and people were protesting him, they were saying "Shut Up" and "Why do you hate America?"

Anyway, back to the topic. Do I hate the US? Yes/No... while I don't think the US is the best country in the world, it's not bad. I feel we have a lot of problems in politics due to the lobbyist and corporations giving money to them and no matter who becomes in charge you are going to have the same problems due to them. I think our priorities are backwards and a joke (you can show killing someone on TV but oh god show a woman's breast) and too many people try to put the Christian bible first and forget about the fact we have freedom of religion here. There are problems here and I feel most of it is due to the politics won't change the problems we have.

When your getting information from biased channels, sure.

EDIT:



Look up Reagan's policies.



Compared to how much bashing Bush recieved with his spendings vs. Obama and his spendings, I don't think you have any room to complain.

Unlike fox news, amirite?

I hope you aren't referring that I believe Fox News isn't biased...

No, just confirming how much stock you put into them.

All news is biased... the left has MSNBC while the right has Fox News... it's that simple.

While i don't always agree with the actions of my government(i'm American), and i don't think America is a perfect country that can do no wrong, i do not hate my country. In fact, i can't think of a country i do hate(Some governments yes, but countries no)

Of course I don't hate the U.S., they pay my bills.

SHHHWEEAT?

The bait has been set.

I only hate the fact that everything is priced so high because of money we owe other countries. If that was gone maybe we wouldnt have to pay so much in taxes or gas prices wouldnt be so high.

I gotta agree with sv51macross. I mean, I love the states, but hate most of it's idiotic inhabitants. I also hate what politicians are doing (on all sides) that may end up destroying the country. I firmly believe that if the political situation continues as it has been for the past 10 or so years (and the foreseeable next 2), by the time my children's children grow up (I have none now, mind) this country will be reduced to nothing, and naught but an empty shell if it continues to exist.

The place is a bit closed minded [read: a lot], and everyone has these really high standards which limit what others can do.

I love my country(even ought i live in a another country)it the government that i think people hate.

I live in the U.S.

And may I just day, it blows. Too many rules, enough said.

I am an american and I love my country but it can be hard to say that after all the bone headed things we do.
