Sometimes I think that if many of us Americans cared as much about what our fellow citizens thought about us as we do what the rest of the world thinks about us, we might be kinder and more accepting of differences between one another.

But I 'spect it's the same thing as the Reps saying that God is going to punish Amurka for having policies the Reps don't approve of. In any case, when, for example, my country tortures people, you're dang right I'm ashamed of it, and have no hesitation saying so. And I firmly, fundamentally believe that you should be too.

They might not say "ashamed", but they are still saying they are not happy. So, in my mind it's the same kind of thing.
