You are ok with that?
You said you hate America, I said I love it even with its imperfections. Simple. Everything else was added by you.

Do not insert your words into my mouth.

I am sorry you hate your country.

Case in point my list of flaws and failures that when not if but when solved will make America a far better place.

I do often look at what was gained and what was lost, for the most part it was a gain but with great loss I mean the War On Poverty, Abandoning the Space Race/Moon Program, The Civil Society being replace with the hell we have now, The 1965 Immigration Act, The Gun Control Act of 1968, Taking America off the Gold Strand, Vietnam, The Carter years, The 1986 Amnesty, ec ect ect ect I mean we have let things go way down hill..And for what?

You think I like the Segregation, I don`t(I am 23 and only know I have seen via history but I am assuming I was bad)

I just hate the fraud, abuse, corruption, and "3d worlding" of America.
Equality is the heart and soul of every nation's integrity. All other improvements are based on this foundation. So in my opinion an unequal America even during our best days doesn't compare to today's America. That said, there were defiantly things we as a country could have done better and there are defiantly things we are doing better today.

So you like the fact you can be killed via a drone with no evidence?

You like the fact we reward theft, fraud, and incompetence?

You like the face we are wasting billions on illegals while vets dying wait for a doctors appointment?

You like these flaws? They are not "imperfections", you are flaws...

whether or not other countries shared in these things or not isn't really the question. America in all of its glory has many skeletons in its closet.

Equality of opportunity, or Equality of outcomes?

Oh not, it does..

Other nations have done far worse and still do..

You know how they treat gays in Iran? They Hang them.

You know how they treat gays in North Korea? They make them run across a minefield, and if they get pass the mines, they are shot in the back.

You how how they treat gays in China? 2 years in a work camp.

You how many off their own people the USSR murdered? 35,000,000.

You how many people Mao and the "peoples party of China" killed? 50,000,000.

You think we are bad, we nothing close to evil, and the fact the left compares us and says we the worst of the worst is a sick joke or a lie...
