Should I drop a class because of an American-centric professor?

On the first day of class for Intro to Political Theory, my professor conveyed that her class would be centered around American affairs, as the two hours, oddly enough, focused on contemporary American issues, which concluded with a blanketed assertion that the same issues apply to Western political thought throughout history. She also referred to the United States as being the "freest, richest" and generally best nation in the world.

Is it right to view this as a warning that the professor will not be objective throughout the course, or am I not giving this experienced professor of 20+ years not enough credit?

All professors and university instructors, in Political Science and its sub-themes, have an ideological perspective. From your perspective, are you going to drop an under-grad class because you dislike the prof's political leanings? Take the class and learn to deal with people with different political leanings than you have. You seem to be a first or second year under-grad. It could be difficult to finish your degree if the prof's political leanings drive your class choices. This is even more of an impediment if you plan on going to grad school, as by that time students should have developed the inter-personal skills to co-exist with different ideologies. 

I like the fact the prof actually stated their position--I do the same, it's the only fair and transparent policy.
