I'm sorry (no I'm not), but demanding we say "I'm proud to be an American" is just borderline nationalism (and if the 20th century taught us anything is that nationalism leads to disaster) and it is also a non-argument. How are liberal arguments wrong if they don't say "I'm proud to be an American"?

Besides, we're not the one trying to drag American into a shit-hole.
That may be the single gayest thing I have ever read on this board. Or the old one. ;)

I'll be proud to be American when they finally let us catch up with the rest of the civilised world.

I've always been a little skeptical of people who are "proud" to be a nationality or ethnicity. I am happy I am an American. I am glad I am white. But my pride is saved for accomplishments, for things I did. I am proud of my military service. I am proud of the way I keep my lawn. I was proud when my oldest got a 103% on her spelling test (extra credit words). I am not proud of the fact that almost 32 years ago, I was born to a white middle class American family. Glad, but not proud. My pride is worth more than that.

Oh, I thought you were trying to get her envenomed by a platypus or Sydney funnel web. Or any of the other gazillion Australian creatures with far more potent venom than sanity should allow.

What living organism isn't trying to kill you in Australia? Koalas are generally good as long as you don't piss them off, right? Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if they found the worlds first venomous rock in Australia.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

Well, while they weren't lovers, I was raised by two women (mother and aunt) and I'd like to think I turned out okay.  Not hellish or evil here, though my aunt can be annoying when she wants to shove potato salad down my throat every time she makes it just in case my taste has changed.  It hasn't.   I digress, though.
