I would again refer you to the Statue of Liberty, and what America once stood for. You might be right about the brainwashing from media, but there is an older, deeper story and promise of the United States as the land of the free.

I think there is even a song about it, "land of the free home of the brave" or something like that. I hear it occasionally at sporting events.
