Stacy McCain posts a quote by author David Mamet that I like very much, perhaps you will like it too.
Our forebears struggled and fought and died to establish and to preserve and broaden those freedoms they bequeathed us, and which have made us the most prosperous country in history. To denigrate our culture and traditions, to turn our back on our place and duty in the world … is an act of folly like that of any thoughtless and weak (not to say ungrateful) inheritor of wealth.
Truly. Hat tip to Instapundit for the link.
