Is This The End Of Patriotism?

A new poll finds only thirty-six percent of young adults are proud of being American. With today's Americans for Limited Government Minute, I'm Catherine Mortensen. The Issues & Insights and Tippinsights poll found that young adults ages eighteen to twenty-four are the group least likely to say they are proud to be American. That compares with fifty-nine percent of Americans ages twenty-five to forty-four who says they are proud and seventy five percent of adults ages forty five to sixty four. Nearly nine in ten Americans over age sixty-five say they are proud Americans. Conservatives were also much more proud to be Americans than moderates or liberals; 81% of conservatives said they were proud compared to 66% of moderates and 55% of liberals. These numbers do not bode well for the future of our republic. If the citizens don't take pride in their country, they will elect leaders like the ones in office today -- people who seek to "transform" our country and otherwise dismantle our institutions.
