ameliorate 

Contrary to misconceptions, ameliorate and alleviate do have differences. While ameliorate means to actually improve a situation, alleviate means to relieve the stress of the situation, make it more tolerable.
example: To ameliorate the bitter soup, one might add other ingredients, improving the soup itself. To alleviate the bitter soup, one might distract the self while eating it, talking to friends, holding the nose, eating other foods, making it easier to consume. None of this lessens how bitter the soup actually is. It just alleviates the discomfort of consuming it.

God bless America 

Something that dumb people say purely out of blind, naïve patriotism. Also something that dumb presidents might say as a cheap one-liner to get a standing ovation.

American food 

Simplified and modified cuisines copied from all over the world. Mostly hearty and greasy food, they are pan-fried, deep fried or baked. Seldomly steamed, and do not include other body parts from any animal besides their meats. Since fast food restaurants are so abundant in America, one could argue that American food actually implies fast food.
"I will show you what real American food is all about - super-size the fries and three patties, please."

"Despite ice-cream was invented by the Chinese, pizzas by the Italians, only Americans can make them taste so good and fattening! I love American food!"

anti-americanism 

disapproval of social system, politics and lifestyle in the usa.
to criticize specific aspects of american politics or society isn't anti-americanism. if so, every us american politician would be anti-american... sounds logical, ehh?!
