I feel great.  I am so happy to be an American. I wish there was more political parties but I feel awesome being American.  It sure beats being anything else.  Well except maybe Italian.  Thats a great feeling too...

They have pride for where they came from. Though I'm an American (I was born here) I'd still wave a Chinese flag along with an American one.

If you are an American it is important, because we live here and raise our children here. If we better the country we better ourselves.

Because you're not a greedy, ego-centric, arrogant republican. You realize that being an American means being tolerant, compassionate, and inclusive for all of your fellow citizens regardless of their socioeconomic class, religion, race, or sexual orientation. You realize that by being an American you have a responsibility to question your gov't when you disagree with them. Vote Hillary in 2008 and take our country back from the criminal republicans, you never answered me last time, won't you join us?

I love America.  Show it by voting, particularly for candidates who are not extremist (today's conservatives are extremists); by paying your taxes; by staying informed on what is going on, both locally and nationally, and by giving your informed opinions on crucial issues to your elected representatives; by learning American history; by respecting others; by respecting free speech, even when you disagree.\n\nRead the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Gettysburg Address, study the backgrounds of these important items and strive to understand them.  It is more important to keep the flag in your heart than to wave it.\n\nIf you believe in God, pray for America, and for its leaders (even the bad ones...as Jesus said, love your enemies).\n\nBe prepared to make sacrifices for your country, for as the quote goes, the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I'm proud of the United States for a number of reasons. \n\n- We have a relatively fair system of justice. There are very few places that do as well as we do in that realm. \n- We have quite a bit of freedom guaranteed by our Constitution, and in fact defended by our justice systems. \n- We have a good history of promoting invention for reasonable profit. That has resulted in a LOT of important innovations. \n- We used our financial, military, and diplomatic resources to stop several major threats, including Hitler and Stalin. \n- We just this week stood up against the out-of-control domestic right-wing movement despite a propaganda network on a scale of those used by Hitler and Stalin. \n\nWe're far from perfect, and we may still fall to our religious extremists, but there is no doubt that the United States has been an overall force for good, and a vital one.\n\nI could find many good things to say about many other countries as well. I don't think this needs to be a contest between countries: it'd be a dull and lesser world if they were all alike.

Yes, I am proud to be an American but ashamed of most of the things that President Bush has done!! This reflects on the man and not the country as a whole. There is no greater country on earth!

I am most proud of our UNITY.   \n\nYes, even though we fight, differ, and quarrel among ourselves religiously, racially, and economically,  we are strong against outside adversaries. We forget our personal differences, and meet problems head-on as a TEAM... a truly UNITED force.\n\nKnowing that my neighbors and strangers are there to protect me, to protect our land, and to protect our future rights and privileges makes me very PROUD to be a citizen of the United States of America.\n\nI think your question is an excellent refresher for citizens of ALL nations to consider about their loyalties to their country. \n\nThanks for asking.
