Proud to be an American?
You're damn right I am.
Do I agree with everything the American government does? Nope. Do I think that we fuck up sometimes? Absolutely. But that doesn't change the fact that our government provides my family with the ability to live a life that is full of happiness and freedom.
I can worship who or what I want to worship with no fear. Or I can choose to not worship at all.
I can voice my opinion on our government actions and policies (be they pro or con) at any time without fear of agents beating down my door and arresting me.
I can eat a grape at the local supermarket without paying for it and not be afraid I'm going to get my hand cut off in a public square in front of my children for theft.
I can listen to rock and roll, jazz, rap, or any other music without getting thrown in a government prison accused of treason.
I can be gay, straight, bisexual, or a fucking nun, monk, or priest.
I can walk down the street with the sun on my face and speak without being spoken to. My daughters can do the same.
My husband can shave...or not. His choice.
My daughters can grow up to be doctors, lawyers, politicians, or pornographers for that matter. They have a choice.
I can say "FUCK" in a public place and the worst that happens is a couple dirty looks.
The list could go on and on...all the little freedoms that I have that make my freedom precious.
So am I proud to be an American? You're goddamn right I am. I may not agree with all of our policies, procedures, and actions, but that doesn't change the fact that my country provides to me, and more importantly to my children, the ability to live a fulfilling life.
Americans are going to die in this war. Thank you to the men and women who are in our military, willing to risk their lives to provide myself, my family, and my friends with a life that is worth living. My respect is yours.
He whos country has not fucked up cast the first stone.
