On the same token, turning your back on your country, there are no words that fully convey my ill feelings for such people. Our country isnt perfect, not by a long shot, and we make major F'ing mistakes, but it's home, and that's worth defending or speaking out for.

Wise words. I agree 100%.
I hope many of the "habitues" of general topics get a comprehensive understanding of your words, because this people only signals others's defects but is unable to consider a critic. And, do not even think about autocritic.
