I don't think abachler means pride in the sense that you just assume your country is the best. I think "taking pride in your nationality" means supporting the community in which you live. People these days seem to default to hating their government. And while that distrust may be justified, people have lost a lot of gratitude and respect for their communities.

Way to goof up, really. Get Bush back before your public image as arrogant ****s is shattered by this stupid friendliness ;)
