In reply to the discussion: Is it just me, or does anyone else object to calling the country of the USofA - America? [View all]GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)You claim you are not looking to criticize America and then proceed to do just that!!
And all the facts you state are pure BS.
Canada kicks our ass on most metrics. But the other nations in the Americas? Spend time in Brazil, Mexico or Venezuela and talk to me about gun violence or all the other things you mentioned.
Pretty much all the people on Earth call us Americans. On my trips to China I was an American in their words.
If you want to navel gaze and somehow feel we are the worst nation on earth, knock yourself out.
But this proud American will resist anyone who suggests that being a proud American is not a liberal value. Cause we will win no elections if we are not seen as proud Americans.
Which is what this whole thread seems about.
