Sure, people complain about America all the time, and sure, we have our problems, but those problems come as a result of... freedom.

Many countries have adopted policies that make it difficult for someone to speak their mind, including people with certain religious beliefs (including some Christians who never suspected teaching Biblical doctrine would be considered a crime in their own country). In some countries you don't dare say certain things, even in sincere academic questioning lest you wind up with the authorities knocking on your door. But in America we even allow people who have radical ideologies to speak their minds because we do not seek to restrict speech based on the fact it might offend somebody.

Also, in America I have the right to defend my family personally rather than having to rely on the government to do it for me.

I could go on, but there are so many things that I take pride in with my country that I felt compelled to make this stamp. You may take pride in your own country, and that's perfectly fine, but as for me, I am a fiercely proud American.
