Same to you and all others. That used to not mean as much to me as it has become to, lately. Our Country's changing, and fast. It's scary what our kids may have to deal with but our grandparents probably felt the same way in regard to us so I trust it will work itself out. I just worry about us not living within our means.
Do you live in a millenial neighborhood? "According to new data from Gallup, the share of US adults who say they are “extremely proud” to be American is just 52%, a record low for the 16 years Gallup has been measuring the trend. The drop in patriotic feelings is particularly acute among younger adults, who are about half as likely as their parents to describe themselves as being “extremely proud” to be American....For respondents 18 to 29 year old, there has been a whopping 26 percentage-point drop in those who say they’re “extremely proud” to be American. According to Gallup, this low patriotism may be characteristic of the millennial generation. The previous cohort of 18-to-29-year olds showed significantly higher feelings of American pride even before 9/11, when patriotism began to spike. Other groups that tend to be less patriotic are political liberals (only 36% are “extremely proud”), Independents (44%), Democrats (45%), nonwhites (45%), and college graduates (47%)." http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/mi...y-proud”-to-be-american/ar-AAhTfH9?li=BBnbcA1
I love America, I just don't particularly like what Americans have turned into. Happy 4th everyone, I'm making my daughter watch John Adams with me today lol.
