| Poll question: Are you "Proud to be an American"? |
|
Edited on Fri Nov-03-06 08:52 PM by Squatch
Where, according to that asinine song, at least you know you're free. S'cuse me...feel a sneeze coming on...Aaaaah-Aaaaahhhhh-Bullshit!
In any case, on a scale of 1 to 5, how proud, if at all, are you to be an American. Only "North-of-the-Rio-Grande-South-of-that-straight-line-except-for-where-Minnesota-juts-up-there" American residents need respond.

Proud to be an American - and more than willing to relocate to another country in order to better my own personal circumstances. The two are not mutually exclusive.

| 3. Since pride is SUPPOSED to be considered a sin to us |
|
so-called Christians, I would not use that word. I'm very happy to be an American. Though, I'm very disappointed in how gullible and shallow a lot of our fellow Americans can be.

"If you listen to a lot of conservatives, they'll tell you that the difference between
them and us is that conservatives love America and liberals hate America.... They don't
get it. We love America just as much as they do. But in a different Way. You see, they
love America the way a 4-year-old loves her Mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups.
To a 4-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes Mommy is
bad. Grown-up love means actually understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad,
and helping your loved one grow. Love takes attention and work and is the best thing in the world."
