1.       We’re a big country.

(That grows lots and lots of food, and makes lots and lots of medicines and emergeny supplies, all of which we frequently send to other countries, free of charge)

2.       We eat too much food and are the fattest country in the world.

     (See above...how sad to live in such a successful nation, where obesity is considered a disease of the very poor)

3.       We pollute the world.

(Yet it's not wrong for China, India and North Korea to do so?)

4.       We drive the biggest cars (which pollute).

(I don't care)

5.       Our society is torn between conservatism and liberalism, with people refusing to change society even though it needs to in order to keep up with the world.

(So...there are no other countries with liberal and conservative schisms?)

6.       We guzzle oil.

(We could drill our own, and let other nations be, but liberals and enviroweenies won't let us)

7.       We prop up dictatorships that do things that go against American morals.

(You take your friends where you can find them.)

8.       Our government does things that go against American morals.

(So, go somewhere else; somewhere where the government is always and eternally morally upright and fair. Of course, this would depend a lot on what you, personally, consider to be "morally upright" and "fair"; I'd be willing to bet your definitions and mine would differ greatly.)

9.       We’re a snotty, rude, and stuck up society that thinks we’re better than everyone else.

(See above; try France)

10.   We have foreign policy that still thinks that we are in the Cold War

(In a very real sense, we are; and Obama has us headed for another nuclear arms race; one he'll be sure to lose for us, I'm certain)

11.   We act like we are still a superpower.

(We are)

12.   We tell other countries what to do, using our military to back it.

(When have we done this, really?)

13.   We put restrictions on things, such as weed and the drinking limit, which drives people to break those laws. We then refuse to change these restrictions, even though it would lower crime.

(I might actually agree with this one, to a point)

14.   We are a crime ridden society, with some of the worst violence and breaking of laws in any developed country.

(It comes with freedom; that's why we have laws....to punish those who break them)

15.   Things that seem natural, such as love and sex, are made taboo subjects by idiotic parents.

(Your weird Mommy and Daddy issues are a concern of other nations?)

16.   When something bad happens, Americans overreact to the extreme, making something that was a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10 look like a 20.

(This called liberals "not wasting a crisis" See: Hurricane Katrina and Greenville, KS)

17.   Many people are racist and stereotype people.

(Not nearly as many as the media would have us believe)

18.   We claim to be and open a welcoming country, where in reality, we routinely deport people and make society hostile to newcomers.

(If those people come here legally, and go through the proper channels and paperwork, welcome! If not, take your sneaky, greasy little ass back where you came from)

19.   We are a Christian majority country (a reason the Muslim world hates us)

(And have been since the beginning; it's served us very, very well. I see no reason to change, as Europe has, just because it pisses off the Muslims. "Christian majority countries" are often more open and accepting of other ideals and values than Muslim nations.)

20.   We support Israel and attack terrorist groups (ditto)

(Who attack Israel, our ally)

21.   We elected George W. Bush and his administration. ‘Nuff said.

(Maybe not the wisest thing we ever did, but we've spent eight years, waiting for that wave of terror attacks the media predicted, to come. Thanks George!)

The General, unless this is some sort of gag, is one of the worst America-haters I think I've ever come across. He (she) must be very, very happy with our present administration.
