I really love how Americans of all stripes are
proud of our country and our nationality. No matter our political persuasion,
Americans are always happy to fly the flag, wear blatantly American apparel and
shout USA at international sporting events. While to others it may come off as
American arrogance, in truth it is just pride. We love our country. We love the
variety of our space from coast to coast. We love that every ethnic group in
the world is represented in our country. We love
e pluribus unum. And pretty much everyone of us can replace the we
in those previous sentences with I and be completely satisfied.
I
have been to various places in the world and witnessed plenty of other countries that have
their own national pride, but American pride is different because it
encompasses all of those other national prides. We are proud of our female Olympic
athletes who fence in their hijabs. We love Neapolitan pizza as we view the eruption
of Old Faithful. We love Route 66, Elvis Presley and Jimmy Hendrix. We just
love everything about our country. I love that.
