People have such pride in their country. A veteran at a Newt Gingrich meeting asked for an autograph on a photo of himself and Newt in 1995. He choked in front of the whole group, so proud was he of getting his picture with the speaker of the house when was in service.
With pride comes the real deep concern that the country they take so much pride in is changing to something they are not familiar with, to something different. The country they grew up in is what they are familiar with, and they so firmly believe that that is the right way. They might not know much about other models. They want to elect leaders who will continue the country they take pride in will continue to be the same.
This veteran had pride in his country and leaders, it was sad to see how un-leader like politicians really are. Concerned only about themselves, not the country and the people.
