Yeah right. The US have fought in a damn lot of bloody wars and has supported a lot of dictatorships.
Red=Hardiness and Valor
Can't argue about that.
Blue=Vigilance, Perseverance & Justice
Well, depends on what you call justice. I can't really say bombing civillians because of what their government does is much justice.

Nationalism is inherently wrong. It only serves to strengthen the barriers that keep humanity from achieving peace. It proliferates hatread, racism, and conformity.
In short,"Fuck nationalism, it sucks - Harshly."
That is all.

Is conformity all that great? I look for change. I know you meant something different. I feel proud where I am and where I came from. I can see your point but to feel proud for who I am doesn't mean I look down on others who were not born in the same area that I was.
