Blindy support??? huh, I said I was proud of my country, warts and all.
I am proud of my son, he has made many mistakes so far and has his warts, I am still proud of him. He does many things I do not approve of, and has done many things that have totally made me wonder, did they change kids at birth, then I remember how retched I was and think how terribly retched his dad must have been (his mom confirms), yet I am still proud of my son and his father because they have both grown and are growing each day and I see them growing even more everyday, all this love and yet, I still support no b.s., and I am not blind to much.
I see America doing this also, trying and trying to grow but unpatriotic people just seem to hold us back, not only themselves, but the young impressionable who read unpatriotic bs, and the slurs against the U.S. and think bad of their own country…… America is a cohesive unit of multicultural glue that creates a mosaic of beauty so amazing as to glow like a beacon on a mountain top, it is filled like a Christmas tree with ornaments of every country, and I am proud to hang among these branches.
How does my Patriotism amount to me being ok with irresponsible behavior at all?
Guccilvr, if you are an American, then the hand that fed you, your mother and your fathers, maybe they were American to, and maybe they were fed by their either American parents or people who came to America, did they vote, and if they did, do you think they tried to make the best decisions they could for not only themselves but for you, for us their kids, and aren’t we all trying to do the same for our kids. I have to say the one greatest thing faith has given me is appreciation for the people of my past who have made my present possible so I may create a better future to be proud of for my children and I intend to do just that. I hope one day my childrens children still have the right to voice their opinions about their country just as you do, I just hope their voice is more optimistic and patriotic.
I said, “share your past,” I would love to know what ingredients went into this great melting pot, but grasp the present, the gift that America offers each human, and that most apparently came here looking for. Yes, these gifts are also found in other countries. I am getting tired of having to try to not to invoke the wrong thoughts from my posts, how you can get, I am blinded to wrong by my pride in my country is indicative of some pretty scarred history to me and I apologize for the pain you have suffered at the hand of bigots, they are wrong, but I am not one of them. Again, I am not always happy with the way my country behaves, but I a damn proud to be a part of it, yes warts and all.
