Is it just me, or does Hitler look kinda hot in that pic? Not in general, just that pic.

Why shouldn't we be allowed to exercise that right? My point is that some people take the rights we do have for granted not that we should just turn a blind eye to whatever the government is doing.

Would you rather we just blindly believe that America is always good and right? A little bit of ungratefulness is a small price to pay for actually mistrusting your government (which is as it should be).

I realize what you're saying. You want the best of both worlds. Be grateful for your rights, while still being aware of your country's faults.

I'm saying this is impossible. People are idiots. If they're grateful for their rights, it's because they're not questioning their government.

If they are grateful for their rights then they are using them to change what they don't agree with about their government, through means of protesting, contacting their senators, etc.

Instead of just saying America is crap I'm moving to Canada because it's the best country in the world

One's views on the government and the country are going to be linked. If we're taking an honest look at our government, and finding out just how corrupt, incompetent, narcissistic, dishonest, imperialistic,and just plain douchebaggy our politicians and there policies are, can you honestly expect us to then say, "but America is still the greatest country on Earth"?

not that it's the greatest country on Earth but it's still way better than some other countries is all I'm saying that it could be a whole lot worse.

America is easily one of if not the best country. Prove it you say...Ok.. Look at your quality of life, it far better than 99.9% of other people in other countries across the globe.
