No Surprise Here

[A Theist]

New PEW Research poll finds that just 40% of libs say they're proud to be an American compared to 72% of Conservatives who are proud to be an American.

Well left wingers tend to be less worried about their country of origin because no one chooses to be born where they were. Right wingers tend to be more patriotic because they argue everyone should be proud of their roots. I'm not an american, but I prefer the right wing view, patriotism with moderation, not nationalism or ultra conservatism

Hmmmm...interesting view point.

Why exactly should I be proud to have been born into an empire of judgemental hypocrites that think they're better than everyone else and butt their stuck up noses where it doesn't belong?

Should I be proud of a bunch of spoiled folk who got their freedom by taking someone else's and slaughtering thousands and thousands of natives to make sure their desires were fulfilled. Or be happy about a few founding old white fathers who only allowed white men that owned property to vote and were all about slavery. Hypocrites.

The fact most schools force kids to say a pledge of allegiance while including a mythological god in the middle of this freaking rant teaches kids at an early age that it is not alright to be anything but proud of your country or you will likely suffer ridicule from others.

This god crap that flows throughout America is retarded. Nothing more to be said there. Wait, actually a book could be written about it. Kick religion to the curb and the hell out of politics and I'll start to take things a bit more seriously. Wait, no. ....majorly bias media also serves no purpose other than creating fear and cult mind sets. It should be banned, for it is a terrorist and creates dangerous fanatics the same way religion does. It should not be allowed.

The War in Iraq was a joke and we all know it. America is still a spoiled brat of a country that practices the "It is my way and if you don't like it then get out, and if you're an ally country you aint no more because you no like us. Burn in hell! Murica! Freedom! And stuff!"

When I can find more things to not be proud of in America, then I can to be proud of in America, I see no reason to go about ranting about how patriotic I feel. I hate 4th of July. When people go around spouting off pride rants they often come across sounding of arrogance, conceit and narcissism, and that in itself is ugly behavior that makes me want to vomit.

Good morning. My coffee says hi.

Well, GTFO of our country then.
