Overall, 39% of U.S. adults say they are "extremely proud" to be American in the most recent poll.

Meanwhile, only 18% of those aged 18-34 said the same, compared to 40% of those aged 35-54 and 50% of those 55 and over.

18% is still too high. As Obama's pastor said, God damn America! Americans have very little to be proud of at this point.

Half of that shit happened before you were born and none of it was done with your help. I'm not American and my argument is not targeted towards Americans. No person should be proud of the coincidence of geography.

Exactly 1 thing this person said happened before I was born. We aren't all 21.

Alright, touche. I still feel that this kind of nationalist pride is a very slippery slope.
