That's always been my stance. Then you have the "love it or leave it" crowd. This is as much my country as it is anyone elses. As with anything that's ran by humans, it has its flaws. So I have one of two choices. Abandon it because it's not perfect, or do everything within my power to make it better. If the "love it or leave it" crowd had been listened to throughout our nations history, we would still have slavery, women wouldn't be able to vote, there would still be Jim Crow laws in the south and Civl rights would never have been.

It's those who stood up to help change this country that's made it what it is today. Which gives me hope it can be even better tomorrow.
