					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Dr. John D. Wilsey</em></p>
<p>Everywhere we look, we see confidence in the American experience on the wane. A recent <em>Wall Street Journal/NORC</em> poll found that patriotism has declined among Americans from 70% to 38% since 1997. Part of the explanation for that alarming trend is how the left creates a narrative that America is inherently a racist and oppressive nation.</p>
<p>Furthermore, that narrative has asserted that Christianity is a harmful religion, creating division, violence, misogyny and justifying slavery.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/04/how-christianity-has-advanced-freedom-equality-for-all/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p class="selectionShareable">Longtime conservative activist <strong>Gary Bauer</strong> is concerned about the growing patriotism gap between the two major political parties in America.</p>
<p class="selectionShareable">A recent <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/207614/sharply-fewer-democrats-say-proud-americans.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gallup poll</a> found that fewer Democrats are proud to be Americans.</p>
<p class="selectionShareable">The survey, conducted in March 2017, revealed 67 percent of Democrats are &#8220;extremely proud&#8221; or &#8220;very proud&#8221; to be Americans; that compares to 78 percent in 2016.</p>
<p class="selectionShareable">There was little change among Republicans and Independents. In fact, the survey shows Republicans&#8217; pride at 92 percent.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/05/a-widening-love-my-country-gap-from-dems/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Jeffrey Jones</em></p>
<p>As the nation prepares to celebrate Independence Day, 52% of U.S. adults say they are &#8220;extremely proud&#8221; to be Americans, a new low in Gallup&#8217;s 16-year trend. Americans&#8217; patriotism spiked after 9/11, peaking at 70% in 2003, but has declined since, including an eight-percentage-point drop in early 2005 and a five-point drop since 2013.</p>

<p>Americans&#8217; declining patriotism is likely related to broader <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/192374/americans-satisfaction-direction-remains-low.aspx">dissatisfaction with the way things are going in the U.S.</a>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/07/new-low-of-52-extremely-proud-to-be-americans/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
