Is it unpatriotic to admit that the United States is not the "best" at everything?

It's not unpatriotic to state the truth. Unfortunately I think that you're right in your assessment.

probable purely like countless different day, consume some nutrition, take a bath and pass to mattress. same-intercourse marriage and interracial marriage are no longer comparable. gay anybody isn't constrained from getting married, they have an identical rights simply by fact the rest people, equivalent rights. So what they're inquiring for is a particular privilege, they choose the privilege to have the skill to marry people of an identical intercourse. So the only question that concerns right it incredibly is: who does it harm if gay people marry others of an identical intercourse? If the respond isn't any one, then there is not any concern with gay marriage.

It would be unpatriotic not to point out that we are violating our own Constitution and destroying our own traditions and institutions. We once had the best public school system in the world until Liberalism "fixed it". We once led the world in nuclear power until Liberalism stopped it. The problem is not corporations, not "special interests" but Liberalism.

We, the Baby Boom generation are the primary cause of all this destruction. We had the advantage of a safe and secure childhood and then destroyed everything we touched. Why? Because we felt we were entitled to do so, because we could.

We need to get back to basics.

Fall behind my standards anyway.

I live abroad in a secret place where

- taxes are lower (hint on where)

- crime is lower

- quality of life is higher

- health coverage is better and cheaper

- unemployment is barely over 4%

- bureaucracy is low

- education standards are good

- landscapes are amazing

I guess it would be stupid not to do so. Thinking you are the best might make you slack.

However do not get all depressed by looking at the things that are better in this and that country, look at where you are better off as well. No country has such a big airforce for example.

Sounds like you would find like minded people in the 'Tea Party Movement'!

However, I find it better to focus on our (The People of United States) strengths rather than our current weakness!

True, it is essential to recognize 'areas of decline' in order to address and find solutions.

But it is the 'power of our people that is our greatest 'national asset'!

When the American People come to gather in a common cause, it is the most irrepressible force on earth!

America is arming itself for its greatest threat since the Civil War, 'the overthrow of the American Promise'!

What is the 'American Promise'?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Is there anything more to be said!

Addl: When I read the responses posted to this post, I am amazed and alarmed at how little 'ire' is raised!

There is a 'chasm of difference' between 'reality' and 'accomplishment'!

What do you expect when you have two parties trying to hack each other to pieces rather than solve problems? There are good things as well as problems. But one gets the government one deserves.

No. It's unpatriotic to actively fight against the interests of the United States.

Education IS what 100% of Democrats demand it be.

Our energy program IS what 100% of Democrats demand it be.

Our health care system IS what 100% of Democrats demand it be.

If we don't admit that ALL of our "fall behinds" were EXPECTED results of Democrat demands, we won't STOP voting for Democrats.

"What do you expect when you have two parties trying to hack each other to pieces rather than solve problems? "

They key is to be the best hacker, then when you've kicked the living crap out of the filthy skinking conservative scum you can then get on and solve the problems. Simple.

I never said I wanted a ******* democracy.

No.

What are we the best at?

I think we are ranked like 26th in quality of education. and our education sucks everything else will. except for military.
