My dad came to this country with his parents....neither of them were educated, his mom was actually illiterate. They all worked hard and here me and my sister are two college graduates with really good jobs. God bless America.

Well, then you should thank your parents at every given opportunity.  They deserve as much if not more credit for your success than you do.

I worked hard to get where I am, too.  But that doesn't mean I'm going to declare America is a land of opportunity...America didn't make me any opportunities, I made my own.  Because none would have presented themselves otherwise.

No, we don't think America is evil...just that the naive jingoists like yourself are making things worse for the rest of us by refusing to acknowledge that America is not perfect.  So don't demonize those of us who aren't living in a pipe-dream world and stop lying to yourself.
