Love of country means holding America to its ideals
Bill Britt examines patriotism, criticism and the American promise that each generation must decide whether to preserve or abandon.
Patriotism is not blind praise. To love America is not to deny its failures, but to believe its ideals are still worth defending.
In this week’s “This Matters,” Bill Britt examines what love of country really means in a nation founded not on ancestry, language or culture, but on an idea.
Because criticism is not always the opposite of love. Sometimes, it is how a country becomes more fully itself.
