Were you ever proud of your country?
If you were, how old were you?

I was proud of the 90's. The perception (which we all know is a sham) of a liberal heart and a robust economy for all classes was great for the whole country.

Then all those rich white eco-kids from marin county started jabbering on about globalization or some such, buzzkills...

Re: Were you ever proud of your country?
I was very proud of my country when I was young. It was a peaceful and well-ordered society, one of the wealthiest nations in the world, with a thriving economy and a generous welfare system. People were united and everyone implicitly trusted everyone else.

Then came mass immigration from third-world nations, and all that was once good about my nation was destroyed.

It only took a couple of decades.

Depends, I consider my county a country while others will see it as a region.. So yes, I am proud of my country and it's history in that context. But if I expand that and include the others regions as my country then not so much..

And i think you are wrong when you say that "the mass immigration from third-world nations" is the reason of all our problems. It is one of the results of the worlds leaders' policies including the ones of our/your countries.

I wouldn't say the mass immigration is the reason for the destruction, it's just the final bullet our rulers administered to our foreheads.

Mass immigration destroyed all hope for the future.

Because every other disaster can be mitigated with hard work, but mass immigration can never be undone (except by a bloody process of horrible ethnic cleansing that would leave the survivors psychologically scarred for life, which in itself means the former peaceful society will not return anytime soon, if ever).

I agree, the problem is in mass. I just say that for most of these people immigration wasnt a choise but a necessity.
As for us, an economic decline works well in making many of them go back to their countries, we saw this happening in Creece with the crisis during the last 5 years, but also many of our own young educated people have left (and still leaving) to migrate abroad.
Sure this is not a solution but a fact.

I still think that our own policies are to blame more than anything else.

Re: Were you ever proud of your country?
Tell you the truth, I never even considered it. Not one time.
I have been proud of some of the American people but not the country really. I don't think along those lines. I would stand up for the American people who make up the country but that is being proud of the country. I have been ashamed of some of the American people, too. I have been disappointed in the people who are in the government now and in the pass, they have done some horrible things over the years.

America NEVER was what you thought it was.

The USA has already been defeated. It's been gone since 1933 when the US Constitution died.

America's Constitutional Dictatorship
[link to freedom-school.com]

Look at the gold fringe around the USA flag and KNOW that everywhere that it flies, it represents a CONQUERED territory. It flies EVERYWHERE in the USA.

GET THAT GOLD FRINGE OFF MY FLAG!
[link to www.apfn.org]

You have LOST a war that you never knew happened.

America is NOT even a country. It's a CORPORATION.

Do you know this?

Executive Office Of The State Of Texas (governor)
[link to www.manta.com]
"A privately held company in Austin, TX"

"Categorized under Governors' Office, our records show it was established in and incorporated in Texas"

Texas is a PRIVATE company that is INCORPORATED.

People can search for ANY government entitiy that they like and they will find that EVERY one is a PRIVATE company.

There is NO government in the USA

US Supreme Court
[link to www.manta.com]

US Supreme Court
A privately held company in Washington, DC.

Categorized under Courts. Our records show it was established in 1790 and incorporated in District of Columbia.

Search for YOUR city, county, state.
YOUR local police dept, fire dept, etc.
They are ALL private companies.

Re: Were you ever proud of your country?
NO, NO and NO. I am 75. I used to panhadle 25 cents from the bars, go to movies for 20 cents and popcorn for 5 cents. Then sit there and route for the indians as they were slaughtered in the old western movies. How the hell can I be proud of any country that kills most of the original population to gain wealth and then continues this process yet today?

By country, do you mean government or fellow citizens?

Because government is NOT country, far from it. If anything, government has done the most harm to our country.

As far as our fellow citizens, I was proud of them when they supported Ron Paul.

Unfortunately, most of my fellow citizens, like government, are dumb asses.
