I'm american and love everything about our history, I am proud to be from Massachusetts as well, I'm not from any famous town or city, but paul revere stayed a night in my town and Old Iron Side was partially built in my town as well.
Really, you love /everything/ about your history. You approve off every act your nation has ever taken?
Statements like that need to be made extremely carefully..
I'm British, I'm extremely proud of my nation, but I do not love everything about our history.. we've done some appalling things over the years.
To love one's country is to accept its accurate history, warts and all, but to want to make it better than its darkest points.
