We just found common ground right here !

State's rights give individual states the right to pass and enforce laws and operate independently of and with minimal interference by the federal government. This means each state has the right and the power to operate independently from the federal government as long as there is no violation of the US constitution.

Your name will carry on through generations, and will never be forgotten.
Just so we are clear, no agitation or segregation is needed. Young people are stupid and can't be bothered to do the basic things needed to defend their civil rights

We are the United States. Keep the States and keep them United.
We can however foster the infrastructure of democracy. The free press, unions, political parties, universities which would allow the people to choose their own way to develop their own culture. To reconcile, always through peaceful means.
Political parties being plural, in my view, more than 2 would be greatly beneficial.
Renew the political spectrum and move away from this dogmatic system.

America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.
The progress that was made attests to that. Being proud of that fact shouldn't be indication of anything else besides how you're proud that your country created someone such as yourself.
Being proud of America is being proud of yourself.

If I wanted meaningless platitudes I'd order chinese food and crack open that fortune cookie. This has nothing to do with my statement.
What sort of fascist nonsense is this? Sorry comrade but I am not mother russia and if I want to be embarrassed, angry, or ashamed at something my country has done I have every right to do so without minimizing my self worth.Being proud of America is being proud of yourself.
Stop trolling.

I see it a different way. It's not blind patriotism to be proud of the country that in some sense created you as an individual. Whom can not only appreciate what generations past have built but see what still needs to be done which will, in turn, help the nation prosper further.

Considering you are almost certainly a Russian or Eastern European who hates gay people, and wants them oppressed...
Nobody is buying this nonsense.

How so? I've always been in favor of abortion. Religious arguments hold no sway over me considering my lack of faith.

You're most welcome to speculate about my origins but I take no small offense about the second part. I'd like to believe that people in general are not immune to change in the most general definition of the word.
Some beliefs stem from ignorance, the good thing about ignorance is that there's always room for learning as long as there's a will to do so.

You're putting it in a far more positive light than it currently deserves.
Recognizing that the country you grew up in, with all the good and bad that comes with it, is fine ...being PROUD of that country when it has a track record of some pretty terrible shit is crazy to me, ESPECIALLY when that same country is backsliding, hard....PURPOSELY.
Land of the free and home of the brave, my ass. It's being run by limp dicks or theocratic fascists.
And the population itself isn't THAT much better. The last 6 years have shown just how many easily duped, no thinking, idiotic mongoloids there are that subscribe to these fascist ideas, not necessarily because they honestly believe that, but because they're so willfully ignorant of the facts, and so blinded by their faith in whatever the fuck they're following they can't see how hypocritical they are. And it's FAR too many. Especially considering the "rules" seemingly only apply to the Democrats because the Republicans are tromping all over them constantly and getting away with shit left and right.
Right now, there's FAR too much going on in the US to be proud of it.
Super nerdy comparison, but given it's MMO-C I think it fits. It's like trying to continue to be proud of Arthas for what he was and what he accomplished as a Paladin...DURING the Culling of Stratholme.
