There are, broadly speaking, three kinds of American patriotism. There is Kentucky, which is the standard ethno-linguistic nationalism of soil and blood (think: age of Andrew Jackson). There is Virginia, which is a peculiar form of libertarianism-of-adoption: "we" have come here so that nobody else can boss "us" or those we adopt to become "us" around (think: Thomas Jefferson). And there is New England, which is the utopian nationalism of election: those who elect to come here and help "us" to build utopia are "us", and are very welcome as long as they commit to building the City Upon a Hill.

You got yourself a figure to attach the last one too? I'm very interested in the sort of thing, and what might be called 'American Civil Religion'.

Sounds like Fischer's theory.

Take a wild guess.

Either Reagan or John Winthrop, depending on how you feel about stealing popular phrases from other successful speeches and then making people forget the source material. Then again, without them, armchair historians couldn't feel superior about themselves
