It must be a bit liberating in your case, in that when someone defaults to the usual response of calling your views "un-American," you can just say, "well, yeah."
It... is - but a lot of other Americans I know are quite un-American in this way :) It is as if anything but the way America currently operates is considered heretical and untrustworthy, while so much of the developed world has moved ahead of it. The country is sometimes like some sort of ignored middle child, hungry for praise and interpreting any criticism or attempt to improve as outright hatred.
