"The fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen,"

"No wonder the world loves the United States, yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are - the most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here."


I didn't get that the articles entire premise is that we are a nation of Americans that hate America.

I got that more of us should remember how lucky we are to have what we have.

I got that it seems that many of us seem to beleive that we're entitled to live like kings and will complain when reality fails to deliver that for us.
