There is something to be said for homogeneity ... everything is the
same.  Wake up, work, go to bed.  Your day will be spent with the same
people, same ideas, same beliefs, same ... 

There is an idea about sameness ... if all you do is remain the same,
you are stagnant, your life is stagnant, your future dim.  One cannot
live in stagnant water, one suffocates and dies.  You either grow, and
growth does not come from sitting in a room with the same stupid
people every day ... it comes from placing ideas out there for
question.  It comes from questioning everything.  Through questioning,
I believe you arrive where you must.  Des Cartes was one of those
secular types, science and math, screw religion - he decided he would
prove God didn't exist.  He questioned and challenged his position and
arrived back where he started with one difference - he became a
Christian.

Tolerance is a good thing.  We see Iran where tolerance amounts to
tokenism.  They tolerate anyone shi'ite who attends prayers regularly
and pays the fees and costs of government.  Those who do not do either
are not tolerated.  Sad really.  Iraq - where toleration is limited to
the people forced to tolerate sadam or die.  Afghanistan where the
most brutal repression of human individuality exists.  I may not be
very pleased with feminism, but I sure as heck wouldn't send my worst
female enemy to face the barbarism of Afghanistan (even Hillary
doesn't deserve that).  Toleration breeds understanding.  Admittedly,
I personally believe we have gone to extremes and are told we must
tolerate behavior that is aberrant, but ... that is our freedom to do
so.  We pay the costs of this, whether good or bad.

I will suggest to you that 'we' (used in the same context you used it)
have given you (plural or singular whichever applies) a warning and
you should really not ignore it.  You are not stupid, you have
remained alive this long amidst lesser souls who were not as lucky.  

The United States may be all the things those poor unfortunates say we
are and more.  But we are also a lot more.  In US history, it is rare
to find the universal support for our endeavor to rid the world of the
evil doers (as we define them to be).  A country that remained
isolationist during the early part of the 20th century and was pulled
into WWII kicking ... but once aroused, no power on earth could stop
us.  Not then or now.  You either get on board to defeat the evil
doers or you will get swept away.  

Making nasty comments to someone about their flag having been stolen
is really inappropriate.
