I've always thought of loving America in the same was a loving your kids; you don't necessarily have to give them a free pass on everything they do, and (constructive) criticism and a little discipline are part of the job. Just because I scold or ground my kid for bringing home an F doesn't mean I don't love them; it means I know they can do better, and expect them to in the future. I love this country; I'm just sickened at some of the things we've been responsible for throughout history, and the direction things are going in domestically (especially since, oh, 9/11.) As a nation, we can do much better, but we don't. It's just sad that trying to point that out is the equivalent of "omg you must want Saddam and bin Laden to win" these days.

Nice symmetry there. But then, I was singing Yakko's Countries Of The World song the entire time. I missed about 10 more on spelling errors...
