Читать книгу Keeping the Republic - Christine Barbour - Страница 150

“Well, it means being loyal to your country above other countries. And I am . . . . [But] it has to be put in context and also it has to be put side by side with a greater humanity . . . . Americans who say, ‘This is the greatest country in the world,’ without having any clue what goes on in any other countries, are just pulling it out of nowhere. There are many things that I’m proud of in this country. I’m proud of how my parents and other people stopped fascism and communism. I’m certainly proud of what we started in 1776. It was a new dawn of freedom and liberty in the world. But I’m not proud of slavery. I’m not proud of the genocide of the Indians. I’m not proud of much of what goes on today. So I still believe in the promise of America, but most of America looks at itself through rose-colored glasses. And that’s not healthy.”
