I can see where you're coming from. Slavery, sexism, the treatment of the Irish, Chinese, Women, Native Americans and every other minority in our history.
Corruption, cronyism, nepotism. However, there were, and even are, a great many things about this nation that were unique and incredible. I personally would like to see us try and live up to the ideals of freedom and liberty that the founders of this nation held dear. Yes it was flawed both in concept (slavery) and implementation (Whiskey Rebellion, Shay's Rebellion and so on), however I think it's intentions were of the highest order.
