'Slavery has been banned for two-thirds of America’s existence as an independent, self-governing nation. How odd and predictable for the Democratic champions of the Left to use Independence Day to propose more black dependence on the state.' -hgurdon
I spent July 4 with friends on a boat anchored in the Potomac River near the Memorial Bridge, which crosses from Arlington Cemetery, where our military dead lie beneath dignified white gravestones, to the Lincoln Memorial and National Mall stretching east to Congress. This is never less than an inspiring sight, but it was made more memorable on Independence Day, as it is each year, by fireworks exploding over the Washington Monument.
Gallup recently found that 65% of Americans are “extremely” or “very” proud to be citizens, and another 20% are “moderately” proud. There has been a detectable diminution of patriotism — the Left’s work is doing its intended damage — but a huge majority still takes a positive view of their country. Only 4% are not proud of it at all.
