Nationalism is an important value that Americans should support.

For the affirmative:

Under his guidance, it has grown from a print magazine into a vibrant digital property. Lowry writes a syndicated column for King Features and a weekly column for Politico. He is also a commentator for NBC News. His most recent book is The Case for Nationalism: How It Made Us Powerful, United, and Free.

For the negative:
