I am proud to be an American!  How about you?

You make it sound like a bad thing.  Like I should be ashamed to be American, or some stigma attached to it, but I can come out and say how proud I am of myself.

Kind of reminds me of homosexuals who rightfully put aside the negative views some have of their life aside and proclaim their love of their sexuality. :)

IRT:

I'm glad to be born American, there are things that my country has done that I approve of, and things it has done that I do not approve of.  If America or, say, another country like France, did something, I would compare their actions with my own reasoning wihtout bias towards my own country.  I guess that means I lack patriotism and pride, but I prefer it that way.
