The ONLY way to be proud of this country, is to be the kind of American you want America to be. Being proud of America is taking personal responsibility for it—not standing around and waiting for someone else (especially our elected officials) to make it the America we think it should be. If the United States is of the people, for the people, by the people...then it is each of us who makes America something to be proud of. We must live American in our own neighborhoods, in our own families, in our own local and state governments. Every single moment of our lives is the living breathing embodiment of American ideals. It's a lot harder than whining and casting blame and sitting helplessly outraged. It is also an astonishing opportunity for self-determination and we owe it to our children and our grandchildren to not fritter it away.
