With all the attention on those bad mouthing the country especially from those in arts or sports , here are a couple who say America is the greatest. Many people think that America is great but the haters get most of the spotlight

Gene Simmons of KISS "America is the promised land"

Yngwie Malmsteen guitar legend "I come from Sweden where being better than someone is frowned upon everybody is expected to be the same, America is the greatest it needs no changes"

Who cares what two washed up, over the hill musicians think? They almost always think to highly of themselves anyways, plus they are puppets for the MSM masters, and will say whatever they are told to do. That is what celebrities are: talking heads for the deep state.

oh I knew someone was gonna come up with "washed up" response as a way to dismiss their message. They achieved their full potential because of America get that? They did what they could do in the U.S.A what they probably could not have done elsewhere get that?

And amazing thing for you to say they say what they are told when in fact it is the left more often than not that say conform to what I say that America is bad that it is racist, that it is unfair, that it is a country of hatred and you should kneel and reject to America .

"Think too highly of themselves", no they think FOR themselves. That is why in socialist countries where everybody is expected o be equal it stifles those with drive and ambition because they shine above others. It is easier to make everything equal by lowering expectations and standards than trying to lift people up because the fact is not all people are the same when it comes to drive, ambition, goals and talent and easier to bring down those with those attributes than raise people up who don't have those attributes.

Equality = everybody has a chance to be all they can be

vs

Equity = everybody has same outcome otherwise it's unfair.

I think most American celebrities- musicians, athletes, artists- appreciate and value our country. Just because they point out some areas that we could improve on, you label them “America haters”. Protest is really the highest form of patriotism.

Acknowledging where improvements can be done is one thing, but the thing is all the artists and athletes on the kick of kneeling to the flag and calling it a symbol of hate and how the U.S.A is FUNDAMENTALLY awful is in vogue more than not, they are saying that the very foundations are wrong and need to be replaced.

And let's speak the truth BLM who many in it or support it say the flag is a symbol of hatred and the country is awful and a bring down of it to "build back better" has to be done they have no love for America at all as is they want what Yngwie came from like Sweden where everybody is the same no more no less living a life of mediocrity not rocking any boat or shining through, in a word socialism.
