You mistake fear, for disdain.

No, I don't. But I would like to know if disdain is the reason you don't use the word "pride" when talking of your citizenship?

Actually, the disdain was for you, for reason of your method of discussion.

Now why would you blend in my use of the word "disdain" (as to you) with my own use of the word "grateful (as to my attitude towards being blessed born a U.S. citizen) if you were not continuing to attempt distortion of my own words?

That is your sickness.

Pride in a man is enmity to God. Or at least can be. Often is. Gotta' be careful with that pride stuff. It can be deadly poison.

And that's not even getting started on some of the wicked things this Nation has done.

Still --- the freedom that does exist (did exist?), I am grateful for those portions. Not "proud", for I owe others, many others, some well known, many forever nameless in history.

Yet still proud of the higher ideals and principles this nation, at least in part, stands for. Or once did. Proud of the good things, the goodness that can be found among the people, but grieved for the evil things...

Go ahead. Twist away. Twist it all into the opposite, as you have most everything else I've said to you. I'll soon be gone and won't answer.
