re: Are You Proud to be an American?

If you mean "proud" in the sense that if I was in a group of people from various other countries, would I be proud of what I represent? Yes and no. I'm proud of what this country has done historically and what our Constitution stands for, but I'm not proud of the image that America has earned in the last few decades. The rest of the world sees us as whiny, privileged, arrogant narcissists who idolize people like Kim kardashian and Miley Cyrus. And that's not an inaccurate description for a lot of people here.
