“The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.”
H.L. Mencken (Letter to Upton Sinclair, October 14, 1917)
This is how I feel. My parents risked everything for the American dream and now that I am here, now that I feel in my heart I am an American, it hurts-ANGERS- to see the selfish acts of some ruining the immense potential the country has. I criticize the actions of this government because I think we can do better, that the American people deserve better. NOT because I don’t love this country, actually I do it because I do.
