@nissimblack: It is wild that we live in a time where saying “I love America” can offend people. America is not perfect. No country is. But the United States has been one of the greatest forces for freedom the world has ever seen. It has inspired nations, shaped culture, built opportunity, defended liberty, and given millions of people a vision of what freedom can look like. Many of the same people who criticize America still want the freedoms America represents. There is nothing wrong with loving the country you come from. There is nothing wrong with being grateful for the blessings God allowed you to experience there. And there is definitely nothing wrong with wanting to celebrate the 250th birthday of a country that has been truly blessed. We can tell the truth about a nation’s flaws without hating the nation itself. The tribalism has to go. Gratitude is not a crime.
