The massive rise in GOD BLESS AMERICA, PATRIOTISM (since 9/11) has allowed Bush et al to wage war. To criticise America is to be unpatriotic and makes you a no good commie magic carpet riding hippie.
Hitler and Mussilini were great patriots, spurred on by the pride in their country to export their ideas. Hitler thought he was doing the world a favour. A NAZI was a PATRIOT by definition.

However you are doing much better. A few points that need clarification.
I don't think your Country is BAD. I like most Americans I meet and it is a very friendly place. It has a great open culture, although I see it slip daily.
Try not to think good and bad, it gets you into this fascist mentally. Think could do better. Think with great power comes great responsibility (watch spiderman a few times). Think that being a leader requires a BIGGER need not to be a fascist thug. It is called SETTING AN EXAMPLE.
Just because billions think your country is the great satan, don't label me with them. I would much rather they realise that you are just a tadge jingoistic at the moment because you believe all the rubbish on Fox news.
I don't know where you get the impression I think my Country is great? Be careful, an imagination is a dangerous thing in someone who thinks in absolutes. Hitler was like that.
You seem to be making up all sorts of extrapolations that are incorrect. Can do a post without making up things I never said?

That ... and I got a lotta negro friends too.
We haven't caught-up with the new spiderman philosophy yet (we're always a few decades behind England in these things), but i'm sure you could enlighten me.
Sounds deep,
Being American, I probably couldn't understand it, we're just not quite as sharp as you guys are. I think it's all that dental work we have done that you guys are smart enough to avoid.
Very attractive.
Speaking of SETTING AN EXAMPLE (must be serious, it's in caps) .. IMHO you're a perfect EXAMPLE .. or at least a SPECIMEN.
I'm American .. of course I believe everything I see on Fox News .. we all do, you know that.
You're smart to figure that one out.
Shall I throw in the obligatory Hitler reference too? ... OK ..
American loves Hitler (you know it's true) .. so, of course, being a robot myself ... me too.
American ... Hitler
England .. Ghandi
you win again ... great debate, thanks for the insight.

Can't say that I share your views on England, but i'm relieved because to put to rest a lot of my worries about many of my fellow countrymen.
I don't understand the negro friends business, but what you do as consenting adults......
I am worried however. I had rather hoped you would not like that Hitler chap. Now I hate absolutes as much as you love them, but even I might advise: HITLER BAD (yep capitals are SERIOUS).
I see now that I am failing, urgent action is needed. I may introduce subliminal messages into the next few posts. So if you start muttering "I am sorry to be a one dimensional thinker with a brain cell i borrow occasionally" to yourself. please do not be alarmed. It is only the first step to enlightenment.
I can perfectly understand why you would want to run yourself down, but please don't include all your fellow Americans. Remember you think of us Brits as real smart and we are making the same mistakes as you are.

Think man, think.
We're not as smart as you guys, you got all the intellect in Europe, we just got the balls and tiny brains.
We get all of our original thoughts from Europe.
Teach me oh guru .. the path to enlightenment.
Do I need to cut off my balls like you guys did?
Originally posted by jammerIt's not balls you have, its cash. However grasshopper, the path to enlightenment is in your fridge. Just crack open another one and everything will gradually become as one.
