I still fail to understand the need that uber-patriots feel to force their own "America is great" feelings on everyone else who happens to live here. Know why my ancestors immigrated? They were offered free land. If they had gotten land in the Netherlands or Denmark they probably would have had exactly the same lifestyle. So what do I owe the United States? What enormous obligation do I or does sspad have to stick with a nation that we might like to leave behind?
