The shit we're pulling the last decade is stuff that we never did before.

I was raised to believe we were a "shining beacon of hope" to the rest of the world.
Now I find myself living in a police state, being searched at airports, the govt. taking over everything, people wanting to build our own version of the Berlin Wall on the Mexican border, and our military attacking countries that didn't attack us or our allies and no declaration of war by Congress.

Just don't feel "American" to me...at least not the way I was brought up to believe (which may have all been lies to indoctrinate us as kids)
Excellent post Robbie.
