I was driving down Cleveland Road today with Phil. He saw a sign that said, “I’m proud to be an American.”
“Why do people do that?” he asked.
For a minute, I couldn’t think of a reason. “I guess they feel under siege,” I finally said, and he agreed that might be the reason. Yet, if I felt under siege in my personal life, I would not go around saying things like, “I’m proud to be me,” “I’m number one,” “Support me,” or “God bless me.” Why is a certain amount of humility required on a personal level but considered unpatriotic on a national level?
