Canadian Dad, American Mom, born in Canada, lived in the US for the last 12 years, American wife, 2 American kids.

I refer to myself as Canerican.

Also, I didn't see once where I "talked bad" about America but that brings up a good point...

Suppose I tell a story about the "Tuskegee Experiments" (for those who haven't read about it, please see here http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0762136.html). If I tell that story, would you say I'm "talking bad" about America?

I ask, because it seems to me that amongst a small % of so called "patriots", if you tell the truth about a specific incident, you are deemed a person who hates America.

Let me explain it another way...

I'm sitting in front of my house. I see my neighbor John shoot his wife Sarah and kill her. Six months later, I tell my friend bill the story of what I witnessed. Is it fair to say, "oh username, you hate John because you told what you saw"?

It boggles my mind.
