This country and its leaders are acting like filth to the memories and sacrifices of The Founding Fathers and of others. It disgusts me. I'd hate to be a child now!

I like Mark Krikorian's definition of a post-American.

"Let me be clear what I mean by a post-American. A post-American may actually still like America, but the emotion resembles the attachment one might feel to, say, suburban New Jersey – it can be a pleasant place to live, but you're always open to a better offer. The post-American has a casual relationship with his native country, unlike a patriot. Put differently, the patriot is married to America; the post-American is just shacking up."
