Ranch dressing, the World Cup, and America250: What makes America unique, and what Americans need most Article Description As America’s 250th anniversary nears, patriotism is the order of the day. Amid stories celebrating our nation, one surprising symbol has emerged: ranch dressing, now beloved by visitors from around the world and described as “a face of the nation.” It’s a fitting picture of the “multicultural miracle” that is America. But today we consider how the same spirit of self-reliance that helped shape our nation can also keep us from God’s best, and why self-reliance may be popular religion but spiritual suicide.
