Michelle Obama tells us that she wasn't proud of her country until recently. The other day a lady in Colorado didn't sing the National Anthem as she was asked to do, but instead chose to sing a black anthem. Later when discussing the bru ha ha that she stirred up, made a comment about not feeling a part of this country. What is it with these ladies?
Now, I have to be honest...I get sick of hearing this sort of thing. I mean it. It really gets on my nerves.
People can say what they want, but this country is a great country and I am PROUD to be a citizen of the United States. No, this country is not perfect. I don't think a perfect country even exists, BUT the freedoms and rights we have in this country are second to NONE.
It just angers me when I hear about citizens bashing the U.S.A These comments come from people who have never had to stand in line to get food staples that their government deems acceptable, never have had to worry about being thrown in jail for their political or religious beliefs, have never had to live in fear under a cruel, power hungry dictator, or worried that their children might not make it to 5 years old because their government doesn't allow in the needed medical supplies. We haven't had to worry (so far) about suicide bombers, or our buses or shopping areas being blown up. We can sleep at night knowing we live in a country where there is OPPORTUNITY. No, not everything is going to be given to you on a silver platter. Sometimes life IS difficult. That is just life. Stop blasting America for all her perceived faults.
You know if you really feel strongly about how horrible it is to live here in the United States you always have CHOICE. That is the great thing about this country! If it bothers you so much you could always leave and go to another country. You have that freedom.
