If somone wants to be ashamed of the administration that is one thing, being ashamed of being an american is rediculous.
people seem to fail to realize anymore that America is NOT Bush and the govt, America is NOT the forriegn policy, America is NOT the military and the conflicts.
America is the PEOPLE.
The government is just a tool to keep things running smoothly. The government should be controlled by the people not the other way around. Sometimes tools get rusty and sometimes they need a little maintenance and sharpening. I think we are going to see that here in the next 15-20 years.
but dont be ashamed of being American because the elected leaders are a bunch of asshats. America is the source of so many wonderful things, new tools, innovations, medicines, art, beauty, literature, science and knowledge.
To say yer ashamed to be an american because of the current administration and the foriegn policys and stuff, well, thats just fucking stupid. Rather than be ashamed, do something about it.
Anyone who is not proud to be an american can quite simply GTFO
