Pride in being an American drops the younger you get, a new Quinnipiac poll confirms \u2014 a fact that confirms what a terrible job older generations have done at teaching the young.<\/p>\n

Or rather, what a horribly successful job one part<\/em> of those generations (the left) has done at smearing a country that in fact remains the most free and successful nation the world has ever known.<\/p>\n

The Q-poll numbers, from a sample of over 1,300 adults nationwide, are stark: Do you consider yourself a proud American?<\/p>\n

Overall, it\u2019s \u201cyes\u201d by 73% to 22% \u201cno,\u201d but the divide narrows over time.<\/p>\n

For those over 65, it\u2019s 91% to 7%, dropping steadily among younger cohorts to just 56% to 27% among those ages 18 to 34.<\/p>\n

No surprise: Republicans are much more likely to be proud (97% to 2%) than Democrats (61% to 35%) \u2014 which neatly points to where the negativity comes from.<\/p>\n

Starting in the late 1960s, the left has come to dominate America\u2019s universities and K-12 curricula, too, emphasizing the country\u2019s imperfections without<\/em> the important context of what every other nation has managed to achieve.<\/p>\n

And, indeed, all too often promoting outright lies, as in the New York Times-produced \u201c1619\u201d curriculum that massively misrepresents slavery as the country\u2019s hidden \u201ctrue\u201d founding principle, rather than a horrific deviation from those principles that even slaveholding Founding Fathers regretted.<\/p>\n

To be clear: It\u2019s not at all wrong to teach kids about Malcolm X, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, My Lai, Wounded Knee, the Pullman Strike of 1894, Joe McCarthy or the Rosenbergs (who were guilty<\/em>, by the way) \u2014 but don\u2019t leave out Andrew Jackson, Lewis and Clark, Sam Houston, George Marshall, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and so on.<\/p>\n

Not to mention Alexander Hamilton.<\/p>\n

Democrats from Jackson to FDR to JFK would be appalled at how little pride modern Dems take in their country.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Remember that the United States saved the world twice<\/em> last century, first from the Nazis and then from the Soviet Communists.<\/p>\n

This century, we\u2019re freedom\u2019s best hope against the global tyranny sought by the Chinese<\/em> Communist Party.<\/p>\n

Every one of us should be proud of that.<\/p>\n

And yes, it\u2019s a free country; everyone has a right to think what they will \u2014 but really, that\u2019s another<\/em> reason to take pride in it.<\/p>\n
