OK, so lets forget politics and just answer this. Why do you love the United States of America?

Lets all try to name two things that make us proud to be Americans. I do not care what makes you angry or moves you to fight; I am looking for what brings a proud tear to your eye when you think about the USA. This is for people currently living (and are citizens or in the process of becoming a citizen).

I will start:

I love the fact that although no "group" accepts me as a member (ie Republicans, Feminists, Democrats, etc) I am allowed to follow my beliefs, no matter how far from mainstream they are.

I am proud of the fact that in most countries, I never could have come from a back ground where the Salvation Army gives Christmas presents to an owner of a successful business that supports my whole family.

Please, I would love to hear some happy thoughts and not rants!

Thank you ahead of time for not snarking at each other.

    I'm not American, but I love some aspects of your culture, such as good music (blues, jazz) and I like the freedoms enshrined in your Constitution (except maybe the right to bear arms). I like your contribution to civil rights discourses.

    Speak for yourself mate. The US of A is definitely the most hated nation in the world. I am sorry but I have to spoil your day until you realise what your fecking government has done to the rest of the world since WWII, Invaded 4 countries, N. Vietnam, N. Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan. Meddled or imposing their will on Iran, Sudan, Pakistan, Poland, Georgia, Czech Republic, Russia, Chile and other nations. So while you are basking in your luxurious surroundings, give a thought to some of the millions that died and countless millions of relatives displaced by the conflicts.

    There are no real freedoms as people can not smoke marijuana or do things that upset others as ride your trail bike on a vacant piece of land .The police in america and australia for example are corrupt and take the fun out enjoying life.There is no freedom of speech and to many homosexuals giving hetrosexual HIV AIDS .Porno has destroyed childrens freedoms .America is a bastard place to live as the gambling sends people poor and there is no freedom when people are encouraged to spend there money.I have been around the world but i would not go to america as they even sprayed agent orange on vietnamese jungle ruining soil so people grow up disabled.This time i will not say god bless america but i will say why did osama binladen the son of a builder order planes into the twin towers .At least i know that crack cocaine is not on my street.

    I love the United states simply for the freedom I have. All the tings I like and do are a direct result of that freedom. America Home of the FREE and the BRAVE.
