I admired the "old" United States as a beacon of light for the free world.
But the U.S. lost her way. The former home of the brave and land of the free doesn't exist anymore.
I feel that escpecially as a friend of the United States it's our obligation to criticize.
So nowadays being "Pro-American" sometimes might appear as being "Anti-American".

These other countries kill there own very well on a daily basis without our help, and I don't condone what our gov't has done on any level. I will however still defend my right to free speech and tell all the negative posters enough is enough. Guess this isn't getting moved after all and it's contents is justified calling the kettle black as well. Star for you and the other Military man in thread, as I support our troops not our gov't and what this country used to stand for. Still it's the country I reside in, and these are the feelings these posters bring out. Sorry if it sounds like a Rant but it's far from it. Have a beautiful day indeed sir~

Your boring rhetoric of the condition of the United States and how we should conduct our business is well worn out. Factually, what makes your country so great? Please enlighten this American? Please tell ATS what your country is doing to better the world? Tell me what your country is doing to fix the Economic problems that's not just in the US but has engulfed the world? Tell me please~! You call us murderer's, hardly. If one person actions could speak for the whole, I can make some pretty nasty assumptions about you people and the counries you reside in as well. In fact your negativity only breeds negativity, unless that's what you wanted your doing a great job with it!~ Bravo for being the prime example of how not to conduct yourself! This young American comends your blatent ignorance!
Tell me why, if we are so bad that we still have immigrants coming in by the 1000's every day because YOUR COUNTRY is a litteral dictatorship and can't provide it's citizens with the means to be healthy/happy/free? Doesn't matter the form of the listed it's still present in the US.
I can understand your hatred to the US.... I would hate us too, if I made asanine assumptions about another country.
Hey I have an Idea, instead of talking about how bad the US is, make your posts worth while and show us and LEAD BY EXAMPLE not exemplify the fact that you hate a country you think you know but infact know NOTHING ABOUT!~
Mods feel free to move this where ever your little hearts desire, though if you can see the kettle and trends happening via thread you already know it's black and deserves to be in this thread.
A sincerlly disgusted member salutes everyone who has made a derrogatory comment about America! LONG LIVE FREEEEEEEDOM! And enjoy that landmass you live in, I hope your more productive in your current job profession than the words of negativity that leek from your mouths on this site. (For lack of better words)
That is all, go back to your hater comments and continue being the way you are because it's obvious you lack the will to change anything in the simplest of form.
Oh yea.... Amen.

To the OP - errr.. the word hypocrite comes to mind.
On to the topic of your post, were the United States of America so pure and innocent it would not be so vilified on these very forums, the comments are in large justified and the target of these comments is not the American populace per se, albeit that some of your inhabitants do lend themselves to be targets with their staggering ignorance.
We only need look at the posts directly below yours (I didn't go any further) to see that it is not just non-Americans who despise the current state that America is in.
If there was just a little less self obsessed arrogance and "'Murica" mindset then it would help no end, furthermore if there was an end to the continued political support of Israel and wars which are known to be purely about money, I think there may be a shift in people's view points.
However the puerile nature of your post is suffocating and only continues to fuel the flames since you profess to dislike the criticism but act in the exact same boorish manner that has now become a stereotype for peoples from that part of the world.
The expression that is relevant is: "If the shoe fits, wear it"
If you're not happy, stand up, grab your gun and march on Washington!
I am bemused as to why this is not in the rants section, it has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with pimple popping dick swinging.
