I suggest all the American haters who continually post on here blabbing about how f*cked up the country is to push your liberal or conservative agendas do a little more international traveling or at least get some facts and figures before you open your mouths.
Our political system, economic model, military, educational system, healthcare system, criminal justice system, and so on are all far better than one could hope for in nearly every corner of the world. It's not perfect, but anyone with any common sense will tell you that perfection in social engineering doesn't exist. As someone who has been to over 30 countries (for work and leisure) and who has studied other countries significantly, let me some it up for you:
World political systems: Blantantly corrupt or built on ancient monarchies.
World economies: very dependent on our own
World militaries: most couldn't act as a domestic police force
World educational systems: Their general public makes ours look like Einsteins and their brightest often come here for college
Their healthcare: Nonexistent, scary, or just satisfactory (that is if you only net 40% of your gross)
Criminal justice system: A rumor and next thing you know you're beheaded
My point is that although a particular country may excel in a particular area, for a limited time, when one considers the collective benefits of the US, you can't help but be proud and relived to be an American.
