“I am proud of my country because…”
A great idea from the NRCC.
Tell the world why you’re proud of our country.

I agree F15.
I’ve been to the US Consulate in Guangzhou a few times and once you pass the dozens of Chinese folks outside begging to get Visas (that’s another story) and enter the Consulate, its like flipping a switch. Night vs. Day. There is no place like home, wherever our Flag flies.
Thanks for the chuckle! There are wonderful things to see all around the world, but there’s no home for me but the good old USA! We are the best place in the world, because freedom is a fundamental need of the human spirit.
Yesterday’s liberals loved America in a way that today’s don’t:
“Books may be burned and cities sacked, but truth like the yearning for freedom lives in the hearts of humble men and women. The ultimate victory, the ultimate victory of tomorrow is with democracy; and true democracy with education, for no people in all the world can be kept eternally ignorant or eternally enslaved.”
- Franklin D. Roosevelt, National Education Association (June 30, 1938)
I am proud of my country because without it, the world would be awash in dictatorships, technologically backward, and morally stagnant. The USA is responsible for more advances, more aid to foreign countries, and more military stabilization than any other country in the world. The USA is the most free, most moral, most desirable country in the world (presuming we can keep the socialist Democrats from destroying that “for the children”).
I notice a singular lack of lgm’s response to this thread.
How telling.
1)I’m proud of my country because there are volunteers standing on walls so my children can sleep safely.
2)……because we can have an election like Bush / Gore 2000 and remain patient and calm while the votes get sorted out.
3)……….because my husband has the freedom to own a firearm to protect my family.
4)…….because when times are tough (September 11, Iowa floods, etc.) the American people are there to help their neighbors.
5)…….because so many people dream to live in the US and very few actually leave.
6)And finally, I am proud of my country because I think we have the greatest sense of humor on the planet.
Because it is my country. Other countries have large populations but these countries belong to the kings, imams, and elites which go by many names. This country belongs to me; I vote and my vote counts. I have a say in how this country is run. There is no other country in this world where I and my vote counts for anything. It is that simple.
Boy! That is the truth. I can also remember the people at customs when I showed my military ID they would smile and say “Welcome Home” and wave me through. What a great feeling that was.
And how could you forget - “Mom”!
(I risk sounding geezerish by adding “Chevrolet”, heh.)
Yes Aj, and the Hotties. No burkas. (come to think of it No nothing
LOL Purplepeep. For the record, I’m only 36.

The phrase is beautiful when I “sound it out phonetically” - what is the translation?
I am also proud of my country because it allows a washed-up, unable to hit baseball player like Jason Varitek to collect a major league salary instead of taking him out behind the field and kneecapping him like they do in Cuba.
Christian Soldier
Yes it is beautiful to say, it means ” May God not weaken my hand, I(we) will overcome”
Ah, then I get to pull chronological rank on ya But then again, I’m generally pretty rank, lol.

One of those great jingles that sticks in your head and you hum for weeks afterward!
AAAAHHHHHH DAMN! I was all in a good mood and then I saw this. Now a real piece of America gone. Good Bye Bozo.
… because of our great freedom to think, say, and do what we’d like, our willness to pay its price, and our efforts to encourage that same gift of freedom across the rest of the world.
I’m proud of my country because I know that tomorrow when I’m celebrating our Declaration of Independence liberals all around the country will be having a really bad day. They aren’t celebrating you know, which makes me feel all the better about celebrating myself. Whatever you do tomorrow don’t forget a symbolic stein hoist to the liberals who everyday remind us of how fortunate we are to be who we are.
Funny Purplepeep, I just remember that think because it was the independence day and my dad had purchased (for a six pack of beer) a Basset/beagle mix puppy. When asked what we named it, we called her Baseball. Just cause that Jingle was in my head. LOL
What?
Nothing from lgm?
Nothing from sausage?
That’s OK, guys: hundreds of thousands of brave American men and women have given their lives so bozos like you (”men without chests”, C.S. Lewis called you) can steep in ignorance and hatred for your country.
Here’s hoping you raise the flag tomorrow to salute them.
Somehow I doubt that will happen………..
I believe it’s often used as a toast. I’m into linguistics-languages, but just know a wee bit about Gaelic. It’s an amazing language.
Thank You - MNUSMD -
I’m adding the phrase w/ translation to my favorites - you may see it in one of my paintings or sculpture as a “secret message”-rather like Goya used to do.
It’s an AMERICAN FREEDOM LOVING THING; if you have to ask you will not UNDERSTAND!!!
.
That’s sad, but we lost the original Bozo when Capt Kangaroo passed on awhile back (Bob Keeshan).
I just got an email from a friend of mine who is in the Peace Corps and her mission is in Jordan to teach English to a group of small kids, girls just recently being allowed to attend.
They didn’t like her at first and wanted her to learn Arabic so they didn’t have to learn English. The men won’t touch her when they give change at the market. She has to melt snow to drink hot tea in the winter in her “house” that is primarily made of tin roof sheet metal.
The girls that she is teaching, she has just been able to teach them Dr. Suess- whom they love. They never heard of him before. She has to be careful which stories to read. She has to walk around in full sleeves and a covering over her hair- not her face, though. Herds of camels often cross the road (like cows), stopping her bus.
They thought she was a dirty American girl for going to the cafe to check her email. They thought she was looking at porn, not talking to her folks- and she got scolded a few times for being out after dark.
I could go on about her stories, but I love hearing them and I use her stories to reinforce why I’m proud to be American. She is too. And just the fact that I got to write all this, without fear, as my speech and thoughts and actions (to an extent) are free and belong to only me and are a right, granted by GOD, not some dumb politician.
purplepeep
you’re right, it usually is…. but I’ve always heard it through my granda and my father when they would recount the rebellion against the British in 1898, 1916 and 1922…. wasn’t used a as a toast then….lol.. that’s why my grandda came to the US….. I have a thing against Britain ever since… I know my cross to bear
Was that directed at me? You have me pegged wrong if it was.
we lost the original Bozo when Capt Kangaroo passed on awhile back (Bob Keeshan).
I think I got that wrong - Keshan was the Howdy Doody clown, Clarabell. Right?
I’m not sure. Be back posting in a few.
Keeshan was Clarabell….. unfortunately I’m old enough to remember…lol
Oh, I’m also proud because we don’t have kooks like THESE over here.
I am proud of my country because:
We have people who fought and died for FREEDOM, not tyranny.
Because this country is full of people generous people who don’t hestitate to help others in need and in crisis and we as individuals choose to help those of other countries as well, both to gain the freedom we have and help them in crisis too.
Because I can see planes flying overhead and be 99.99% certain they’re not going to drop a bomb on my head.
I can’t begin to type all the reasons I’m proud of country for. And no words can express how much I love the United States of America.
Long live freedom and the USA as the founders intended her to be.
Yup. What with all the clowns in politics today, I got the two great classics mixed up.
Yer not so old, MNUSMCDavid. If you’re MN born/raised you probably might remember “Axel and His Dog” or know folks who do remember.
Give our own jurists time, JennyBea.
But at least most Americans won’t apologize for liking puppies! Over the pond, it’s a different story:
Muslims outraged at police advert featuring cute puppy
eye rolling quote:
“‘We did not seek advice from the force’s diversity adviser prior to publishing and distributing the postcards. That was an oversight and we apologise for any offence caused.’
There are too many reasons to list here, but my grandparents passed through Ellis Island more than 90 years ago and my family has never looked back.
A day after I turn 51 and another piece of my childhood dies away. I was felling pretty good too John, until I read about it. Now, I don’t think even a couple of AJ’s “friends” could cheer me up.
[Deep breath]- Okay back to work….
Goodbye Mr. Harmon, you brought many happy hours to this man when I was a child in Chicago!
I’m proud for all the above plus living in a country whose poorest citizens are wealthier than 95% of everyone else in the world.
I’m proud of my country because of people like my father, brother, son and so many others that you may know or are related to you have served in the armed forces to defend the land of the free. I’m proud that we can thank God for His provision and blessings on us beyond any other nation on earth. I think that is so because He was honored from the beginning. I’m also proud we can voice dissent like I did to the mayor of Denver expressing my displeasure over Rene Marie’s “inartful expression.” Thankfully the mayor replied graciously and provided contact information for MS Marie whom he said invited our expressions. So have at it Americans and have a wonder Independence Day! From the mayor of Denver:
I’m proud of my country because it is like a family. Sure we squabble and disagree and sometimes downright scuffle…but when the chips are down Americans come together and lift each other up like they did on 9-11. Like a family you can always count on, true Americans support and defend each other against those who wish to do them harm!
Im proud to be a american cause i can be anything i want to be even thougth i have cerabal palsy. We have the best military. I proud to be from the great state of kansas. I proud of my mom to teach me about the value of voting before she died i love you mom. My dad and stepmom for being there for me in my time of need. Im glad to be an american god bless america. Also to america enemy you will feel our pain and your people will be free cause america is land of the free home of the brave.
purplepeep…. nope I was Virginia born , then raised in Philly. My time in MN has been an experience, though. I have learned about Axel, and Clancy and such though.
Because it is the birthplace of John Wayne.
Mr. Sowell has a warning:
http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell070208.php3
As with many people, my life has not been a ‘cake walk’.
Unlike many, my ‘piece of cake’ has been ‘ooooooooooooooh, so good!’
Thank you ‘Founding Fathers’.
Because, for all our brashness & presumed crudity, we STILL retain a sense of idealism, and we by-God are one of the most generous-spirited of countries/peoples on this planet.

I am proud of my country because I am sitting in great military housing on Lackland AFB, where 650 brand-new Airman spoke the oath today and will get to celebrate by watching fireworks with their families. Hoo-rah new Airmen! We’re bursting with pride of our men and women in the Armed Forces of America.
John Ansell: I mentioned lgm and sausage, not you.
btw: you any relation to Ansells living outside Somerset, PA? Jay? Lee? Fay?
If so I’ve got years of history I’d like to pass their way.
Lemme know.
I am proud of my country because when citizens of another country are too afraid to stand up for themselves, we’ll do it for them.
Well, I expect Philly had it’s own local great kid’s show characters like most good sized bergs of the 50s, 60s and early 70s did.
If you’ve had someone talk you into trying lutefisk that’s an experience. If you’ve done it more than once and pretended it was OK, it makes you an official MNsotan. If you actually enjoyed it - well, that’s just plain scary.
It used to be a wonderful place to grow up and live, even in the TC metro/city area. I was a Mpls kid. MNs still a good state, but nothing like it used to be. Mpls/StP were better off when they were pretty much just “big towns” instead of urban centers.
Ah well, many fond memories are left at least to contemplate whilst here in the burb!
Regarding the Canadian farmer story higher up in this thread, I can you tell you that my wife and I, both Canadians, didn’t really observe July 1 (Canada Day), but we plan to celebrate July 4 tomorrow.
As a non-American, let me tell you all that you have every reason to be proud of your country.
Sure, sometimes mistakes are made — government isn’t perfect, which is why there should be as little government as possible to begin with. But it’s the bigger picture that matters, and in that regard, the U.S. wins over Canada on most counts (at least, in areas that matter to my wife and me).
There was a Canadian mini-series on TV not too long ago, and it was about how Canada and the U.S. became one country — my wife and I sat in front of the box and just started daydreaming …..
It would be nice, though, if that scenario could somehow become reality before we die.
Happy 4th of July, my American friends.
If you say you are proud of your country, and you are male between 18 and 24 and medically fit for duty, then prove it by enlisting in the United States military. If you are a parent of or friend of someone who fits these qualifications, then prove your love for this country by encouraging them to enlist.
Words are cheap. Deeds speak volumes.

I am proud of your country because of the selfless service and sacrifice it has made for the other, often ungrateful nations of the world.
From World War I and II to Korea to Vietnam to Afghanistan to Iraq, America is giving the rest of us a chance at FREEDOM.
Look who is on this list and who isn’t!
i,m proud for so many reasons for one when in afgan i talked to a young afgan whose girfrend was a teacher first i ask before we came here could she have that job he said no then i told him where i live i don,t know what churchs the people who live around me go to .it,s the right to do what they what i,ll never forget the look on his face thats why i,m proud of the USA HAPPY 4TH
The freedom to question government. The freedom for any citizen to join government. The American technology that enables our military to be the most dominant force in the history of mankind. The American spirit which is instilled in our military to carry out the missions they are given from our elected leadership. The freedom to peacefully elect our government. The freedom to debate that government. The freedom to arm ourselves in defense against government or individuals.
A fundamental understanding that our rights are God - given and not by man or government. The American spirit that leads us to promote democracy around the world. The financial ability and respect for human life to provide humanitarian aid around the world.
The freedom to make my own stake in life and not be dependent upon government. The freedom to choose from a variety of options in a free market.
This site (thanks MM) and this thread (thanks MM commenters).

If you are male or female 18-25, enlist or get a commission and then serve in the military.

I am proud of my country for many reasons, but #1 for me, and the reason I moved here, is the opportunities that are here for anyone with a will to work hard. My husband and I could never have hoped to achieve what we have achieved in the USA. Another reason, which has been noted elsewhere, is the generosity of the American spirit, it is unrivaled in the world. When I moved here, I was pregnant with child #2, my neighbors brought meals and went out of their way to make me feel welcome, I have lived in France, England, Italy, and Spain and never felt the kind of warmth and generosity I received here.
First person I want to see when I die is my Jesus….
Second is my founding fathers…..
Thanks guys for all you did.
Happy Birthday America!
Admittedly I am proud of this country for selfish reasons. For providing a safe refuge for my Grandparents where they could use their talents to build a life for their families and make the larger world a better place. I am proud of America for giving them and me something larger and better than ourselves to believe in and aspire to greater things for. Without that example of positive values, what is life but a meaningless rut best soon ended at the whim of an unloving god?
Also, I am proud that America is so achingly beautiful.
Yes, you’re right “or get a commission.” At the risk of being labeled a “sexist” or “chauvinist” I’ll try to explain the reasons I left women out.
1) Are women serving honorably in the military? Yes, most assuredly.
2) Are they physically capable? In some cases, yes, but it’s hard to tell based upon their PT scores, because they are scored differently. Situp scoring is identical, but pushups, for example: a male 17-21 yrs of age needs 42 to pass whereas a female of the same age gets a perfect score. The 2-mile run: a male 17-21 yrs of age needs can run it in 15:34 and pass, whereas a same age female can run hers in 15:36 and get a perfect score. Is this “fairness?” Battlefields do not have a sign saying “Men this side, women that side.”
3) Have men lost all sense of chivalry that they no longer feel compelled to protect their homes, wifes, sisters and mothers? I’ll be damned if I’m going to hide behind my wife or mother and let them go to war in my stead. If more men heeded the call to arms, then our wifes, sisters, and mothers wouldn’t have to fight. Can we imagine women fighting at the Hot Gates of Thermopylae because the men were too scared?
4) Should women serve their country? Most certainly. The question is in what role. The age-old saying, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world,” comes to mind. There’s a reason this saying is age-old. If a woman without children wishes to serve outside the home, then here are some possibilities. Though not exhaustive, you can probably get the idea. During WW2, we had the WAC. Non-combat roles, such as nursing, linguistics, cryptography, administration, cartography, etc., provide opportunity to serve.
5)As you can probably tell, I’m not so much against women serving in the military, but instead their current role within the military.
Though I don’t necessarily agree with everything stated in it, I’d recommend the following: “Weak Link: The Feminization of the American Military” by Brian Mitchell.
I can only hope responses to this aren’t filled with ad hominem attacks, but we shall see.
I am so proud of the United States that I can’t find the words to express…the beauty of our country from sea to shining sea; the unselfish nature of those who help others who have suffered from disaster whether here or abroad and don’t look for a “thank you”; for the chance to achieve dreams; for the freedom to pray and play; to be able to raise our families without fear; for our freedom of speech; for a million things. And for the utmost respect for our armed forces and those who would protect our and others’ freedom, my son being one of soldiers in Iraq at this time. I am proud when I see flags flying, eagles soaring, and soldiers anywhere, any time. I am proud of these young men and women who would sacrifice all to protect us and our future.
The United States is the most generous country in the world. Everyone knows it. God Bless the USA.
For all our freedoms & God’s blessings
I’m proud of my wife for who she is.
I’m proud of my children for who they are, and who they will be.
Yet for some reason as I reflect upon why I am proud of my country, it invariably is a pride for what we *were.* That bothers me.
We are the first true democracy in all of history. I’m proud of that. We’re a democracy that was threatened time and again from without, but is now threatened from within. I’m not proud of that.
We have many sins in our past, and I’m not proud of that. We have paid for those sins, time and again, with our own blood - and I’m proud of that.
We’ve made right by the victims, as best as a nation can, and I’m proud of that. Unfortunately the children of the victims have proven often unworthy of the sacrifice, and I’m ashamed of that.
We’ve fought for freedom around the world, and I’m proud of that.
We currently fight for people who as a nation (to the degree that they are one)don’t want and, arguably don’t deserve the freedom. I grieve for the Americans who shed their blood for this. I’m proud of them - terribly proud of them - but not the cause that they were sent to die for.
I’m proud of our history of invention and innovation. I’m proud of how we led and co-led the world in transportation, communications, electronics, nuclear sciences, biomedicine, astronautics, etc.
Now? The finest automobiles wear foreign badges, every household good is made in Asia, and we are fast losing our edge in the last bastions of electronics, software, and biosciences.
Instead, what are we “great” at? Banking? Obviously not. Law? That’s worked well, wouldn’t you say? Pop Culture? Great… who is Madonna sleeping with today?
I’m not proud of these. I’m not proud of the media that in turn bash the industrial might that enabled so much of our proud past, and then gloat when their bashing succeeds in undermining that which they bash.
I’m proud of what our education systems used to be, but not of what it is today.
I take solace that for every Washington, Adams, Madison, Lincoln, TR, Eisenhower, and Reagan we have numerous schlubs like Carter, Clinton, Wilson, Johnson (both), Kennedy, Coolidge, Harrison (both), Dubya, etc.
I tell myself that there have been worse times than this. I remind myself that if not for WWII, FDR would have totally destroyed this nation. I also remind myself that his policies still might.
I am not filled with forward looking pride for this nation of mine, and that bothers me mightily. Instead, looking forward to November of this year, I am filled with real fear for my children, my family, and my nation.
God help us.
We still have the most dynamic, innovative population on the planet. And as of today, still the freest.
send_me;
I won’t attack you. Frankly the Supreme Court decision in 1986 stating thats it not male discrimination in mandating that they sign up for Selective service, while women of comparable age do not have the responsibilty to do so.
Personally any female going into the military before they enlist or are commissioned need to have signed up for Selective service. You can’t demand equality if your are not going to do the same things males are required to do.
I won’t beat a dead horse about the diffrences in PRT scores-that is still a sore subject in the military, even with all the excuses given. You can either run a 1 1/2 miles in a certain time or you can’t. If a male does the same amount of push-ups, sit-ups and run as a female they should both get the same score and ranking.
Happy 4th everybody!

I am proud of my country because we are still a free country, where we can gather at these forums and speak our minds, where we can gather in the house of worship of our choice and not be afraid of government boots and rifle butts breaking in the door, where we can protect our families, where we can directly address the people that represent us, and if they dont listen, we can replace them. Where we can raise our children to be what they want to be, not what the government says they ought to be. But above all else, I’m proud that this country was founded on Godly principles by Godly men. My prayer for my country is we return to those principles before it’s too late.
God told his OT people this:
Is there any reason to think He wont do the same for us?
I am proud because the country resisted the option to elect Gore and Kerry — two men who would have taken us over the precipice.
I’ll be more proud if we can make it a trifecta and BO becomes a footnote in US history.
We don’t need more hope … we just need to get back to acting like Americans. That’s the change I can believe it.
I am proud of my country, The United States Of America, because it is not perfect, but never stops trying to become better.
I am proud of my country, The United States Of America, because we have people who live well, and strive to make things better for everybody.
I am proud of my country, The United States of America, because we have had the courage to stand against tyranny.
I am proud of my country, The United States of America, because we have developed an empty, wild land and made it a beacon of liberty to the world!
May God Forever Bless America!!
In a word: yes. Same as the oft quoted and misused Jeremiah 29:11, this promise was not a promise to you. The promise here was spoken to Solomon, in reference to the Israelites, upon completion of the Temple in Jerusalem after very specific circumstances. God said to Solomon, “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people…” then the promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14 will apply. He also said in verse 15: “Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.” This place refers to the Temple that Solomon had just built. If you seek a promise meant for you, and all Christians for that matter, then there is some very low hanging fruit ready for the taking. 2 Timothy 3:12-13 says this: “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.”
We can’t play “salad bar” Christianity by picking the promises we like or don’t like without concern for context and intended audience.
Another reason to be proud of our country…
1,215 troops re-inlist on Independence Day in a Baghdad ceremony.
Look at that photo. It is sure cause some tears of pride.
Send_me: I know this was a promise made to the OT Hebrews. I dont pick and choose scripture like a salad bar and I resent the fact you are accusing me of doing so. The point I am trying to make is this - if we truly are God’s people, and there’s some question about that these days, then as redeemed Gentiles we have the right to call on Him, crying Abba, Father. While the church did not replace the Jews as God’s Chosen, we are grafted into the tree that is Abraham, the father of the Jews. If we turn our faces to God and call Him by name why wont He heal our land?
And dont you ever accuse me of taking scripture out of context again. I’ll debate you on scripture and theology any time and any where.
Excellent! Should be a great opportunity for growth for the both of us.
I am proud to be an American because this country represents all that is good about people. We give more to charity than any other country, we help everyone in times of disaster (even our enemies, as in the earthquake in Iran a few years back) We set people free from dictators and tyranny even if it means bloody wars and then we fix what was broken to the best of our ability. And we are free to think, speak,and act according to our individual beliefs as long as we are obeying laws that keep us all safe from anarchy. Thank God for America, May He Bless us and continue to shed His Grace on us, even though there are times we don’t deserve it. Thanks to all our troops who are sacrificing and to thier families for this country. Linda Strickland
Send_me - I apologize for my attitude. Sometimes I get reflexively defensive. I would love to discuss scripture and theology with you. It appears we have different views, but that’s ok.
I’m not proud of my country. I live in Ireland and we are as a whole the lamest, stupidest country ever. We rely on the US for our economy. We can’t govern ourselves properly, we’re too small and unstructured.
You know the old psychiatric institutions they had in the US? The government-owned, pill-pushing institutionalised abuse that they got rid of back in the 1960s over there, when television came out and people were getting more educated.
They still have them over here. I’ve been kept in one for the past four weeks, forced to take antipsychotic drugs (starts with a Z), the same was done to me about four years ago. They usually pick on the vulnerable… the old… the lower class etc., but it’s like they’re not even trying anymore now. I NEVER showed ANY symptoms of schizophrenia or any other psychotic illness. They only let me out for a while today because my aunt died. yesterday. I’m supposed to go back there by 7:30pm. They will bring the police out to arrest me and take me in if I don’t. What an absolute joke. I NEVER annoyed ANYONE, was NEVER a danger to myself or others… and they’re force-feeding me these permanently damaging drugs. It really hurts guys. I wouldn’t even go back but I’m supposed to have (government-owned) college exams in the start of August.. and if I fail one I’d have to repeat the year… and they won’t let me back in until I also get a report from a psychiatrist. It’s such a joke.
I’m going to do my best to become a citizen of America, a truly free place. I promise you I will work as an engineer and contribute a lot to the country, not looking for hand-outs or anything. The hilarious thing is that if I had the stomach for it, I could actually claim big amounts of disability for my supposed “mental illness” here, they do that to keep the motivated people from filing court cases. I’ve tried to file court cases but they’re all afraid to take on the government.
I didn’t see how Michelle Malkin clearly put “our country” in the article… obviously she means the US so I don’t think I would have put it. However, it just goes to show what happens when you have leftist lunacy like in Ireland and to a lesser extent the UK and Europe.
It’s a terrible thing but I have to say that I’m ashamed to be Irish. I’m ashamed of my country. Some things are done okay here and you’ll find very smart people here, but others are so backward, so stupid… it’s vomit-inducing. If it wasn’t for YOUR country, the USA, I think they would be already pushing every single citizen to take these pills and going in that direction, never mind getting rid of that unbelievably damaging nonsense.
I forgive you.
Christianity is the dominant religion here.
