Prove that this is "the best country in the world".
By what measure(s) do you define it so?

And even if true, is living in the (ostensibly) least onerous prison in the world really something of which to be proud?

Why don't you just go ahead and say it: "My country right or wrong!"

PS: The decline of liberty, and the decline in the respect for liberty, started long, long in the USA, FAR before Obama.  Your kneejerk partisan assumptions add nothing to the conversation, and only serve to demonstrate the shallowness of your thinking (such as it is).
