America DOES have some problems and it is high time we start accepting that, because in order to make things better we must first acknowledge that we have problems in the first place!.

I would accept one mentioning some real problems and possible solutions for them, but that "you're nothing so shut up" attitude isn't what I'm really fond of.

Funny, that wasn't what I got from the article at all! I saw a more-than-deserved smack-down of arrogant yet ignorant people who have deserved it for a long, long time!
