exactly.

I don't understand how anyone who purports to be a real American and a patriot can refer to our great country as "the Homeland".

Besides it's all too obvious resemblance to another word designed to stir extreme nationalistic fervor, the name "UNITED STATES of America" evokes ..well, unity. Unity, rather than division.

Which is also why I have a problem as well when it's simply called "America".
