Hell I'd even want to live there myself.

Americans (a lot of them) think they live in the best country on earth because it was told to them since they were born. They are forced in school every morning to sing a song and swear to their flag. What do you think what happens? Of course they will believe it if you repeat it enough. I'm not saying they live in a shitty country, but 300 million Americans saying that they live in the best country on earth doesn't mean that it is also the truth.
Sometimes it's starting to get annoying and disturbing. For example... When the president got re-elected he said in a speech: We will continue to let the world know that we live in the greatest country on earth... What does that mean? Is it similar to: Go to Angola as a white rich western guy; visit the refugee camps; park your $100.000 camper; go sit in front of the camper and pop a bottle of champagne and kaviar so they can watch you enjoy your lunch?
