Are you patriotic these days, and do you still love America?

[msc545]

If you can, please tell me what it is you're currently feeling good about in regard to America, because I sure as hell can't think of anything to feel good about.

[Iron_Man]

I’ve been patriotic my whole life and yes, I’m happy with America. I just want to get the food under control. Get the prices down and the gasoline prices down and all the other prices down

[msc545]

I'm not going to ask you the obvious other questions out of respect, but I think you know what I have in mind.

[Pterodon]

Very much so. I volunteered to defend this country I love it so much

[msc545]

The really wealthy people who you helped to make wealthier salute you.

[Pterodon]

I did it for everyone. Democrats damn sure won’t fight for this country

[msc545]

Don't slander Democrats. My entire family is Democratic, and with the exception of myself, every man in my family has been in the service and has been in wars.

[Pterodon]

I’m slandering you anyway. There are members of your party actually rooting for Iran so I don’t want to hear it

[msc545]

Yeah, of course we're rooting for Iran. They were attacked illegally by a lunatic. What did you expect was going to happen?

[Pterodon]

Patriotism is what I expect

[msc545]

Well, tell me what your definition of patriotism is, please? I don't think it's unquestioning obedience to the government or the president, do you?

[Pterodon]

It’s standing up for your country and countrymen

[msc545]

Standing up could mean a lot of things. Which things are you thinking of?

[888theGreat]

I don't like direction US is going. It is not the same country I grew up in. So I am numb really. It could be worse and of course with Trump it will continue to get worse. Only country I see that actually might be better is Hong Kong or Philippines.

[slatyb]

Patriotic? I support the Constitution, but 8647

[Staximus]

Dude you’re confusing the country with the government. There’s a reason why more immigrants try to come to this country than any other in the world.

[msc545]

The reason is that they think things are better here than they were in the immigrants' home country. When they get here, they soon learn that that is not the case, and they are anxious to leave and often can't afford to.

[Snakeyes7]

I love my country's ideals but I hate my government and their refusal to uphold those ideals

[IknowthatIdontKnow09]

I'm from Peru and Canadian citizen

[msc545]

Welcome to the US if you're living here and thank you for posting on my question.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Generally yes.
