Proud to be an American? You're probably not a true liberal.

...And if you're not proud of the country you probably want to make some
major changes to it.

"Michelle Obama took some heat in 2008 for saying that, "for the first time
in my adult life I am proud of my country..."

"As it turns out, that sentiment isn't all that unusual on the far left of
American politics. According to a new Pew Research Center study, only 40
percent of consistently liberal Americans say they often feel proud to be
Americans."

"The other 60 percent say that doesn't describe them."

"The finding is contained in Pew's new "Political Typology" report, which
breaks Americans down into seven different categories -- rather than the
usual three. Among the seven categories, "solid liberals" are the only group
in which a majority say they aren't regularly proud to be Americans."
