Yeah, patriotism seems to go too far sometimes. The ability to question what's right and wrong has become the ability to have unwavering loyalty to the leader of your particular political belief whether right or wrong.
I guess this is why I get called anti-american sometimes from some of them.

There is nothing wrong claiming "your" country is this and that - tho ain't exactly what sane people do with their lives.
All countries.. least most by far.. have fucked up at some stages - some far more than others.
I can't say I "support" my government - some things are good, others I can't agree with. It's not that this is even "political" since both major parties are a "mush". But at least they have "qualified" people in power and conduct government business, in the main, to serve those who elected them. They also don't lie too much :-)
There is a serious communication problem over the US - this is "known" globally. So, tis little surprise you end up being a "US hater" - that's the usual banal statement that is given as an "answer" :-) If you are like me - tis far from any truth.
I can't help but think some consider their lives are some "war" between "us" and "them" - it's called insecurity
