Patriots live, breathe, and exude patriotism because it is part of their fiber. It becomes part of your fiber when you are taught, beginning as a child, that the root of America’s greatness is our freedom. You learn that America has freed millions of people from the grip of tyranny and oppression over our long and storied history. You learn that American freedom still serves as a beacon of hope for billions of people around the world. And while some people may not be proud of our country, Patriots are proud.
Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the U.S.A. (Proud to be an American) as sung by 5, 6, and 7 year olds at an elementary school in Virginia. They sing a patriotic song every day, right after the Pledge of Allegiance. This is how you make Patriots. Happy Independence Day.

The mother of one of my daughter’s preschool classmates once shared an interesting anecdote. Seems her young (7? 8?) son had a room decorated with Ronald Reagan parephernalia. A neighbor who saw his room asked the mom, “Aren’t you brainwashing him?” To which she replied, quite sensibly, “What, I should let someone else do it?”
What the left calls brainwashing, we call teaching . . . and vice versa.
Hey Deuce, that’s a wonderful story. My kids know exactly my political philosophy – both what and why. Both are conservatives now.
