an open letter to those who "hate America"
Remember you live in a country that allows you to say you hate it.
Remember you live in a country where you can blog, where you have internet access, where you can access information.
Remember you live in a country where you can participate in the legal process.
Remember you live in a country that millions -- billions -- dream about. Remember you have opportunities some people can't even begin to imagine.
Remember you live in a country where people can stand up for themselves: African Americans, women, now gays.
Remember you live in an "experiment." It's a process, and it has been working, and we'll get there. To that idealized land of opportunity and freedom and justice for all; where the rights of the Constitution will be applied fairly and justly and rightly; where bigots don't exist and equality is all around.
Remember that for all its flaws, there is someone out there trying to reform your country.

I think the main problem is people saying that a) it's any better anywhere else, or b) it's worse than anywhere else. You can't blame a "where" for anything.
I would say I'm much more anti-Americans than anti-America. And not all of them, just...quite a few.
well put.
