Is the US perfect? No, of course not, but it can improve. Afterall, it's the great experiment. Has it made mistakes in the past? Yes, no country is perfect in that reguard. Still, it atempts to correct those mistakes as best it can, no other country does that. Some folks nationalistic self hate is misguided.

A perfect example is people like Anita Dunn telling high school students her love for Mao Tse Tung. The speech was done to a High School audience. This just broke yesterday. Perfect example of what you are talking about.
