I am really sick and tired of all the anti American crap I see on the web everyday.   I know we've done some bad things, but contrary to popular belief,  America is not out to conquer the world.     I tired of people that think "I'M COOL!!!   I HATE THE BIG BAD USA".    I'm tired of being made to feel shame just because I'm proud of my country.   I've had enough of all of that shit.   Why is it I see more hatred spewed against my country than I do against countries like North Korea or Iran or Libya or against monsters like Bin Laden and Gaddafi and Ahmadinejad and what not.  I've had enough of all of that shit.    I'M AS MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!! 

While not being jingoistic or trumpeting a "my country, right or wrong" mentality, I'll agree with you here that there's a lot of anti-America stuff out there on the interwebs.

I'd say that for every thoughtful critique or justified attack on American policies, there's at least one ignorant diatribe filled with vague notions and self-righteous if somewhat unfocused anger.

I think there are plenty of pundits online who can list from memory every inequality and mistake the US has ever committed, and probably couldn't give you more than a cursory understanding of who murdering asshats like Quadaffi even are.
