Are you a patriot?

I'm betting "E" falls into the same category I put myself in

"I love my country, it's the government I don't trust" And we aren't supposed to trust them. Blindly following one of two broken haves helps nothiong

He's in the Hate Americas category. I don't know that you are.

Oh, honey. I didn't say I wasn't an educator. Only that I never wanted to be one. For reasons made abundantly clear in this thread alone. One thing's for damn certain.. I never went into special education.

Word game- cute. I hope you weren't an English teacher. Special Ed? From the way you wrote what you did, you needed help.

Later, when sanity returns they will say of America: "This is the time in American history when the USA took a $#@!!! Get those cameras outta here!!!

I guess that made sense to him.

You never fail to entertain...They teach you well at the "special needs" classes.

Hmm. Why put special needs in quotes? That was really a lame retort. But, that’s you.

No, this made no sense. You aren't alone in that but let's not start a trend here.

That's been a trend with him for a while.

I can't vote according to the guy in the OP.

I will answer, though - I don't feel overly patriotic here in the United States. I am sort of in a phase. I talk about Canada as home in one sentence then America in the next. I say "We Canadians" when discussing Canadian politics and have started saying that about US politics. I "feel" Canadian thanksgiving but celebrate US Thanksgiving. Same with Canada Day/July 4th. It is conflicting. I do not think that anyone from a western democracy can spend 25 years there and move here to the United States and totally adjust. Sometimes I spell it color, sometimes it is colour. I miss Canadian politics but I also now feel a certain amount of apathy towards the politicians and voting.

Some people have asked me about culture shock and I explain that it's definitely there but hard to explain. I notice small things every day but never remember them. Currently, I am missing snow.

I'm very patriotic, but contrary to the views of Ethereal and the "blame America first" ilk, that doesn't mean I approve of everything our government does. The difference betepween us is, he finds fault in everything no matter what. He seems to think that real America disappeared after the American Revolution. I have little to no respect for his mind-set.
