America the Beautiful

Every time I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes. I’m proud to be an American. Does she have her flaws and is not perfect? Yes. But our country has been a beacon for the world for many years, regardless. People die every day to try to get here from other countries. Most of them come to start a new life with the advantages afforded here that are unavailable from where they came. Others come here for the freedoms we take for granted. Freedoms that over a million Americans and want to be Americans have died for, and many, many others fought for. Saying that, it makes me so sad to read an article like this. It also scares me. Despite the struggles that our country has gone through from within or without, the one thing that always brought us back together was our patriotism and love for this country and what it stands for. What will happen down the road when all these Americans are ashamed to be Americans?

what will happen is when people realize the country is a mix of good and bad they can face the evils like mature adults and stop them from happening again instead of mindless patriotric garbage with their heads cut off.

All things considered,
Pick a better country.
It doesn't exist.

Sometimes people aren't happy until they get what they think they wanted.
I do notice third world inhabitants risking life and limb to enter our racist, white supremist Republic.

Happy Independence, while it lasts.
australia...EU countries are better.

"...the periods in which Republicans worked hardest to wrap themselves in the flag and question Democrats’ loyalty were also periods in which the G.O.P. doubled down on its usual domestic agenda of making the rich richer. Even as George W. Bush’s administration was hyping the war on terrorism and leading America to war on false pretenses, the party was pushing for tax cuts: “Nothing,” declared Tom DeLay, the House Republican leader at the time, “is more important in the face of a war than cutting taxes.”

the fact that you call it america the beautiful to me says you are too immature to call it anything than something positive not because it is positive but because it sounds good.

I don’t think Lee Greenwood has an account on BC if that’s who you’re directing this towards.

Loving one's country can mean being angry when it does stupid, evil things. We, in America, should and can do better.

That’s rich you calling someone immature. You, the incel who lived in his parents basement most of his life because he can’t hold a job very long, because he’s so immature he thinks jobs are going to operate around his schedule and what HE wants. Also, one who threw a tantrum because the US, that he thinks is an inferior country, wouldn’t let him in. When you grow up and become a man, let me know. You are still a child now.
