I think it is a mixture of pride and nationalism. "America is strong! America need no help, especially not from those godless commie heathens"
Some People seem to be occupied by the thought that the rest of the world hates Anmerica and wishes for the death of all Americans. Those people seem not to like the though that this is wrong.
