But still, yeah, some of the people who don't know they confuse patriotism with nationalism are way too horny about the flag.
To be fair, though, it carries more symbolism in its lore than for most countries.

Also, for the last 60 years, we've been telling our children to chant at it for 13 years of their lives.

But why? That's just brainwashing, to put it simply. And it's fucking dangerous. Britain isn't perfect but at least we don't indoctrinate our kids into thinking we're the greatest country on earth and all that shit.

Preaching to the choir, sista. If I were in school now, I would be firmly planted in my seat.
It is a remnant of the red scare and the Cold War. A response to the Soviets by...doing something that is so fascist in nature as to be firmly in the land of irony.

So?

I was assuming the response to the OP saying we Americans are so tied up in our flag, but I see now that you were likely just prompted by the OP rather than responding to him.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
