Personally, I think that blindly following anyone or anything is the epitome of idiocy. America wouldn't exist as a country if its founders hadn't questioned authority, and I don't think that we should take anything at face value.
I'm not saying that we should revolt against our government; I'm not even being anti-government, per se. However, I don't think that it's a good move to simply say, "America is the greatest" without questioning current events, as well as other countries' policies.
Fact: America isn't the only democratic nation out there, and fact two: we've done a lot wrong, especially over the last few years.
I know for a fact that, in writing this, Bethany really researched all facets of the situation to make sure that she could present a full-spectrum image to all of you. Take whatever you want from it, but she's done a good job giving you the facts, and if you do want to be good Americans, you should consider them seriously.
-Love,
