Judging by the amount of U.S. flags being flown, I'd say pretty much any area can be considered pro-america. What a ridiculous statement, why does anyone even listen to her?

I live somewhere with a public library, science museum, and institutions of higher education so I am very anti-American.

That describes where I live, too. Must be "anti-American"!

When you criticize other people for sayng that they think socialism would be better than what we have, I would say that is anti-American. Free speech is our rock.

That depends on whether you equate being anti US government to being anti American. I find the majority of the people I talk to these days are very unhappy with our leadership in all respects. But that doesn't mean we are anti American. We very much love this land and the people who live here. Many people get these two totally different states of mind confused to where they overlap each other. That cannot be further from the truth. This is America and we love this land. The government on the other hand, needs to go through some major change quickly. We may love our government once again someday, when they start listening to the people again instead of speaking for them.

I think that is the general feeling across the world. Many love the states but have a very difficult time accepting the types of things Bush has done and have doubts about our government. Americans aren't alone in feeling anxiety about the feds.
