If commies came over with guns intent on taking over I'd shoot them. Don't know if that's Patriotic or not.

Only if the commies are coming.

No.

No.

The only time I ever sing the national anthem, or I'm ever been "proud" of my country, is during soccer football games. And that's only because the whole point of following sports is suspension of belief. It's to pretend that, somehow, these 22 guys you'll never meet kicking a football around actually matters. But outside the fantasy world of sports, i really couldn't care less.

I don't think it's necessarily bad to feel attached to some cultural identity, but it leads to so many excesses. And really, most nation states are completely meaningless. We're all the same, whether our colours are red and blue, or yellow and pink... Most borders are administrative lines drawn on a map... I don't know why I should feel more sympathy for a Frenchman I've never met than for a Chinese guy I've never met.

Not really in that sesne. If Al Queda could run this country from Islamabad and it resulted in a better standard of living for everyone, I'd be fine with it.

That would depend on who is asking and what they mean by it, but yes.

Meh and
Meh.

I like the country for the most part, I could do without most of the citizens and the govt. I feel there are some people out there who are trying to make the world a better place but they are far outnumbered by the people trying to skim money off the top of these projects.

Not Really.

I have an Amreican flag on my porch, My Grandfathers flag, medals, ribbons, dog tags in a display case, and my fathers flag, medals, ribbons, dog tags in a display case.

Do I care enough to vote? no....

I'm very patriotic when it comes to both my countries, but I don't subscribe to inane notions, like sacred flags and such.
