David, I am glad “you kind of love USA”, but obviously you never live under the dictatorship. I happen to live and experience a true propaganda machine, when you were afraid to speak -up anything different outside party line or find yourself in a jail for a long time.
I love USA, I love the freedom to speak my mind and not being afraid.
I love to listen different views on the media, republican, democratic, tea-party, and libertarian.
I love the opportunity this country gives to anyone regardless of his/her race religion or nationality.
I live this opportunity and love every minute.
Yes we are not perfect and there are politicians who like to use power for their own agenda, and
I do agree that Obama is not popular, but today we all Americans, we all New-Yorkers, we all Obamas.
God Bless USA !
