And if it weren't for France, the U.S. wouldn't have existed to begin with.

Stop it. Just because someone doesn't automatically think "this is the greatest country in the world!" doesn't mean they're taking **** for granted. That's a stupid argument.

Here we go. It's like saying "I love my kids and you can't make me not love them!" as if that's someone's goal who says "maybe, possibly, America isn't the greatest country ever"

Sure, wiping the Indians off the face of the earth and enslaving black people for over 100 years, that's compassionate as hell. Our laundry is just as dirty as England's, we just haven't been around as long.
I love America. But it's not un-American to question whether or not it's the "hands down" greatest country in the history of everything ever.
