They hate us cuz they aint us.... [yes]

America has done plenty of bad things over the years but we are still pretty much a child as a nation compared to others around the world. If people want to solely look at the negatives then let them be miserable....One only needs to open a history book to realize that American's positive contributions outweigh their negatives.

Sadly most people have been mislead to believe a nationalist is actually a patriot....mainly because a lot of nationalist mislabel themselves as patriots.

“The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.”
Sydney J. Harris


The world and the younger generation is frowning upon us as a whole because of our mostly corrupt political system and mass media companies. It seems like all news outlets pick a side and like minded people flock to them to get their daily agenda. The line between politicians and a news reporter don't exist anymore.

These people will then spend their whole day pissed off and ranting about whatever that political party decided is the new boogy man of the week. When really it is all about furthering their agenda and has nothing to do with moral bearing.

They do not represent Americans but it is a waste of time to try and convince the world otherwise.

Mass media has done a very effective job of dividing people up and making them put political tags over their heads. The truth is all of these parties get some stuff right and all of them get most of it wrong. People feel the need to lump themselves into one ideology and stay inside that camp of thought.

Luckily I see our younger generation overcoming that trend. They acquire their information differently....hopefully they will not confuse political propaganda with actual news and pick sides based upon it.
