The same unwavering faith in Lady Liberty cannot be said for America’s white natural born sons. Michael Kimmel’s Angry White Men, introduces Rick who like other (that look like him) believe America has discarded middle-class white men for the cheaper import version.

Theirs are the hands that built this country; theirs is the blood shed to defend it and they feel, they’ve been forgotten” (Kimmel, 3).
