*sigh* where are the conservatives when I need them? You have every right to be anti-American, a pacifist, and/or extreme leftist if you want. But is not for me. I think being extremely left is as bad as extremely right. Neither side is right all the time. I disagree with pacifism because I don't believe that every single problem can be solved without the use of violence. As for being anti-American, I just happen to like living here in freedom. So I am pro-American. I think a lot of people become anti-American for the wrong reasons. They do it to get back at their pro-American parents that they do not like. They do it as a means of rebelling, teenagers like to rebel. Comedians do it because America is an easy punch line. Finally some become anti-American because its a cool thing to do. "look at me, I'm going against America! I'm not deceived like everyone else, I'm cool". Lots people from other countries are anti-American as a way to make themselves and their country feel superior. No, you don't have to be pro-American just because you were born here, but it would be nice of you to appreciate the fact that you have the freedom to be anti-American. Not every country around world lets you be anti-that-country. It would also be nice of you to respect the fact that alot of people have sacrificed their lives to give you that freedom. One can be anti-war, anti-Iraq war, anti-war in Afghanistan, anti-Bush, or anti-Obama without being anti-American

btw, when I say I am pro-America, I don't mean that I am pro every leader this nation has had and has right now, or am pro every decision this nation made and every war we've fought. I am pro-American, cause I am pro-freedom, pro-democracy, etc. that sort thing.
