Dems put on blast over poll that shows record-low patriotism in US: 'Tear our society apart'

Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., is sounding the alarm over polling revealing that a record-low number of Americans were "very proud" of their country last year.

"In Gallup’s 25-year patriotism survey, just 17 percent, or less than 1 in 5 American adults, reported that they were ‘very proud’ of being an American," Hageman said in a floor speech on Tuesday.

"Our excitement for America has been dimmed by accusations of an unacceptable morality, our self-image tarnished by a novel self-flagellation," she added.
