Aaron Blake blogs for the Washington Post that if you are proud to be an American, you probably aren't a liberal. That is the entirely unsurprising finding of a Pew Research Center poll.

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.

There is a certain symmetry in this finding; most "solid liberals" aren't proud to be Americans and the rest of us aren't proud of them for feeling disloyal.
