Are you proud of the actual state of America, or proud that we are not suffering the terrible conditions many worldwide are subject to daily?
Am I proud that we have the one country on earth where my countrymen are not suffering like some third world shithole? Damn skippy! Am I proud that we donate billions to those shithole countries still to have them oppose us at every turn? Nope - fuck 'em. Not my country - not my problem. Have your own revolution, fix your own shit. We should start charging all these desert shitholes for the mercenary support we provide.
You are an idiot. Pride and Nationalism are the same damn thing. Libtards can try and change definitions and narratives as they go. Doesn't change facts.
My mind accepts facts. My mind despises hypothesis based solely on feelings that then become law with no chance of them succeeding. Did all the welfare programs stop poverty? Suck it - try jobs! If you do the same damn thing over and over and expect different results - you have a problem.
If you have a system that works and try to insert loopholes to support special interest groups of any kind it fails. Whether those special interest groups are big business, blacks, gays, the oil industry whatever. All inclusive - loopholes and subsidies are the problem. Supporting shit that should fail, and suppressing stuff that should succeed. This is government.
You are in the only country on EARTH where the pursuit of happiness is GUARANTEED!
Unfortunately liberals think that means we should all have an equal outcome. They want everyone to get a trophy, no one gets feelings hurt, winners get nothing, losers are celebrated. They never got the "pursuit" part and want the gubmint to hand them stuff.
