I don't actually think these are the thoughts of the average American citizen, since I don't think most people (American or not, BTW) are that self-reflective. I also don't think that a lot of people think, consciously or subconsciously, all of those things at once. And, of course, I also think that, on the whole, humanity is good and Americans are decent people and blah blah blah.
I also feel like a "liberal elitist" schmuck by linking to and semi-agreeing with the thoughts behind it, but then I feel like I'm just responding that way due to very effective right-wing propaganda programming over the past decade. And then I remember I'm a neurotic basket-case and shut up.
