What's weird is that I actually use to believe those words, but now that I'm an adult it's like Santa and the Easter Bunny. What happened? Where did I lose faith and why? Are those corporate liars proud of the fact that they made me doubt those words?

However, the U.S. has accomplished some great things regarding freedom. The U.S. fought a war against itself to free slaves. Banning slavery was quite rare at that time, and the US started to change that around the world.
People who criticize the US for various evils usually don't bother to compare to some other country, because whatever happened in the other country was probably worse.
There never has been liberty and justice for all.

22 September 1862: Emancipation Proclamation issued by US President Abraham Lincoln.
