If I was asked if I'm proud of my country I would say I am grateful to be American and thankful I live here but it is broken and divided and that is being driven by politicians, the media, universities and organizations- all with their own agendas. 

My country's problems don't define who I am as an American.

Be as proud as you want, but recognize your own share of the blame for the problems you mention.  Have I been anything but nice to you?  Have you been anything but rude to me?

May I ask what share of the blame she should be recognizing?  I mean, after all, she served our country. Have you?  I’m man enough to admit that I have not.  From her posts, it doesn’t sound like she voted for this regime.  So, I ask you, what blame does a woman like this share? I hope you have a great reply set up, because if not, I’ll politely ask you to go [BLEEP] yourself on her behalf.
