The number of Americans proud of their country has dropped significantly in the last five years, according to the latest Fox News Poll.
Pride is down 19 percentage points: 69 percent of voters were proud of America in 2011. It’s 50 percent today.
And 46 percent say they aren’t proud, up from 28 percent. Even so, more voters feel proud than think the Founders would be.
When asked how the Founding Fathers would feel if they could see the country today, just 19 percent think they would be proud. That’s also down -- it was 26 percent in 2011.
Three quarters (75 percent) say the Founders wouldn’t be proud of the nation.

Obama : “We’re having the desired effect.”
Proud/Pride is not good. It sets you up for unhappiness and a fall.
I know our culture loves PRIDE, but PRIDE is worse than jealosy, envy, etc as all those grow out of a sense of pride. Also growing out of pride is a sense of entitlement.

I think your employing a different definition of pride than is intended here.
Ah, yes! It is just about that time when the proximity to Independence Day impels the media to print every anti-patriotism story they can dredge up. I may start a count tomorrow.
lol
What a heartbreaking picture.
But it must be photoshopped because most of the army is black, hispanic and female according to MSM
And that picture, sir, will seal the election if put in an ad.
That upper pic is more proof of white privilege.

8 years of political agitation and leftist deconstruction is having the intended effect.
It won’t.
Proud? Proud of a nation that had become so depraved and degenerate as to legally and morally equate two perverted homos as the same as a husband-and-wife? Like hell. My pride and my reverence only extends to an America that now exists in the past-tense.
I only have revulsion and disgust towards this faggoty POS nation that summarily supplanted what was once the greatest civilizational achievement in human history.
We are truly done if what you say is true.
How proud can you be when your naval personnel are being filmed surrendering to a couple of bass boats. I just cannot let that one go.
Well stated. My feelings exactly. I miss America. I hate this dystopia I am living in now.
Hard to feel proud when we have a sodomite ISIS/Taliban sympathizer in the white house. Especially when he was re-elected after people found out!
