Here's my friends little post he made on another message board a while back.
Argue as much as you like, it's right on the money. The world bitches no matter what we do.

I am an American.
When I intervene to save a nation, I am imperialistic. When I do not, I?m an isolationist.
When I work, I am a capitalist. When I do not, I am lazy.
When I eat, I am fat. When I diet, I am shallow.
When I donate money to a foreign country, I am acting out of self-interest. When I do not, I am selfish.
When I become rich, I am bourgeois. When I do not, I am a failure.
When I defend myself, I am a bully. When I do not, I am a coward.
When I am educated, I am an elitist. When I am not educated, I am an idiot.
When I pray for peace through war, I am warlike. When I pray for peace through diplomacy, I am weak.
When I believe in America, I am a jingoist. When I do not, I am self-serving.
When others resent me, it is because I am American. When I resent others, it is because I am misinformed.
When I offer to feed a nation, but nothing else, I am ruining them. When I trade with them openly, I am arming them.
When I buy oil, I oppress a people. When I do not, I impoverish a people.
When I make a mistake, the world notes it. When I do not, the world belittles it.
When I am proud, I am arrogant. When I am not, I am pathetic.
