As an american (its "'merkin" around here) i hate my country's govt. I hate the ignorant masses that are far too taken by what is being pushed at them by the media (btw, there is no liberal media, no left wing media, just a money monger media) _BUT_ i love this country and it's general freedoms, its land, its select people.

When it has to do with power, this country is totally screwed.

The anti-American sentiment is well earned and i accept it well, as i have the same criticisms. Does that make me unpatriotic? Yes, if you are a blind follower of status quo. Absolutely not if you are in life for the best interests of the country you live in.

I like what BenChuy said, without the rant part. :)
