Where are the Proud Americans?

The United States has lost its way!   How many Americans are proud of their country?  Apparently too many Americans long for their native countries.  That fact is displayed by the waving of flags and banners as well as auto license frames and decals announcing their nation of origin.  In addition to that outrage many Americans refuse to say the “Pledge of Allegiance” or stand up when the “Star Spangled Banner” is played.

Compare that behavior with Canadians.  An example is a Canadian from Sudan who running for office in a small town in Alberta.  The sign on the back of his car says “Proudly Canadian.”  Michael Mayen arrived in Brooks three years ago after fleeing the brutal civil war in Sudan. He is running for council.  His story is reported in detail in the Toronto Star.

Proud Americans are in short supply.  How do we change this situation?
