Since you are embarrassed as an American and you love your ancestor's homeland and its political and economic philosophy, don't you think it is better to abandon such a horrid land as the US of A and settle down where your roots are?
I am sure the Americans will not miss you!!

I am not an American. I am truly amazed that so many people from UK and USA use this line of argument. Hopefully not the majority of the people in USA act like this.
Being embarrassed about being a citizen of a country due to certain issues happens all the time. I have met Americans tourist all over the world pretending to be Canadians. I met Australians, Japanese, Chinese, Iranians who were embarrassed of their countries at one point in life. Should they leave their country too? It is not treason. Its freedom to express your emotion. To tell them to go back to their Ancestor's country is uncalled for. Its rude and amounts to an act of
bigotry. There is also suspicion of racism and elements of KKK working here. Especially so in a country that value freedom so much as USA.
I guess for some Americans, free speech is only allow when its convenient for them. When someone share different view, you ask them LEAVE the country. "If you don't share our view, LEAVE. " Thats free speech for you. Great.
Btw, why don't you give back the North America continent you stole to the natives. You should also pay the 300 years rent you own them too. I am sure they would let most Americans stay in USA and rent the land to them. Or you can go live in China if the natives don't want the likes of you. They are a tolerant people but I am not sure they would stand bigotry.
