You know something? I am. I recognize my country has flaws. I am perfectly willing to accept that other nations are better than mine in a variety of ways. I'm pissed at corruption, gays being denied rights, economic woes. I see every scar, wrinkle and pock on the face of America.
I love it anyway.
You want to mock me for it, go ahead, but I am a patriot regardless of its imperfections.
