Sorry, Poet. America is a great country, but we now have one of the most corrupt and dishonest governments in the world. We let it get that way, and the "America: Right or Wrong" nationalist tripe isn't helping. True patriotism recognizes what is going wrong, and seeks to fix it.

Got to laugh PLs closing lines............
A. Because someone has to do it.
B. Because it's the right thing to do.
C. Because we can.
The top 3 dumbest reasons for foreign entanglements that cost us blood and treasure.
But he left out the single most important:
D. Because it is in our national interest.
The left is forever invoking A, B, and C; and rarely D !
