Quote from gerry875:
first - the question is what is "american" for you? the horror your current government stands for? the bullshit from mtv, etc.?
if this is america at its best - then it is no wonder that more and more people out- AND IN-side the us are disgusted.
who determines (for you) what is "american" and what is not? a few politicians that are in power for only a few years? or the media? or some big companies who want to sell their crap to you?
or who?
anybody who thinks that his personal values and views are typical and valid for the entire country he lives in is an intolerant mule. that has nothing to do with patriotism or whatever.
