Blust upset by anti-American remarks

State Rep. John Blust wants the world to know he's still proud of America.
The Greensboro Republican filed a resolution, entitled "Attacks on America," that would repudiate recent remarks by Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez and Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at world forums.
Blust said he did not feel President Obama responded "vigorously" enough to their criticism of America.
"Many of these people doing the criticizing don't really have very good records of their own as far as human rights," he said. "We're still a great republic. We still have courts that enforce people's individual rights. We still provide aid all over the world."
The resolution calls for a copy to be sent to the president, each member of the state's Congressional delegation and the governors and legislative leaders of all 50 states.
The resolution has 34 cosponsors, all Republicans.
