Pride in the USA?

I had an earworm this morning. You know, a song that pops in and won't leave you alone for a while? It was a song about having pride in the USA, and I started thinking, "Why?" Now I'm in a funk.

Pride should stem from accomplishment, from leadership, from ability. I think what some people feel now is patriotism which has been mislabled as pride.

Give me some real reasons to feel pride in our country. I need 'em.

Because the most fringe groups get the most press, so we're not really all that bad, just some of us.
