Ask them for 10 names of their members.
Then tell them they are lucky to be alive thanks to America.
How about the fact that we actually tolerate scumbags like them instead of executing them like Saddam would have ?
How about starting with the fact that they can ask you that question without getting a visit from the secret police the next day? It's the old things are so bad they've run out of bullets joke, which pres #40 told at a public meeting with Gorbachev.
Anyone who needs help in such a simple task as coming up with ten positive items about USA must be a troll -- wouldn't you think?
To what other country can a penniless immigrant who doesn't speak the language come, and 1) go into business; 2) make millions of dollars; 3) become a citizen; and 4) achieve high elective office?
Arnold Schwarzenegger did all of these things. I very much doubt an American in Austria would be able to do the same.
Ask the dumbies why their hero George Soros, a billionaire who says he hates America lives here.
He's got enough money to live on his own island or even country, yet he lives in the USA.
If someone can't see the real true great and honest core of this country and our citizens, I would just memorized their names and stay the hell away from them. Because they are fools.

As others have said, it's long past reasoning with Leftist sewage. They have marched in the streets for terrorists, and how we've let them do it even twice is beyond me.
Understand you are doing nothing but wading into an insane asylum. Act accordingly.

You might try detailing the Bill of Rights to point out each freedom.
Also, in addition to what I've read in the comments, I would add The American People themselves. We are basically kind, nice, intelligent, spirited, passionate and goodhearted. We give billions upon billions in aid to foreign countries. Churches feed the hungry of the world, build buildings for the people, thru construction we bring water to towns across the world that have not a single water source. Lots of good the American people do. We have doctor's that fly to foreign lands to heal the sick, fix deformities and immunize populations., and that's just the 700 Club. It's why I donate to them. Many churches do the same with the largess of the givers. Taxpayers support many such operations across the globe. We're pretty dam fine!
