A shocking new survey proves that the majority of Americans are now, in fact, anti-American. According to the Pew Research people, only 49% of Americans now completely agree with the statement, “I am patriotic.”
The percentage of True Patriots hasn’t been so low since 1999, when the nation was wealthy and at peace.

Start getting fitted for your Burka. Al-Qa'idah has won!
Roughly seven-in-ten residents of the Northeast (69%) say they fly the flag, compared with ...58% in the South
But are the counting the Stars 'n' Bars? YEEEEHAW!
Am I a patriot? Gee, I have to think about that one. Can I define "patriot"? As someone said, there's no end to what we can accomplish if we can redefine terms."
Nice mouseover. It looks like Stalin Spider may be getting himself off at the same time.
You forgot to allow for the significant percentage of respondents who skipped home school class the day they taught readin'. They all would have answered "yes" had they only recognized the squiggles on the page.
Stalin Spider, isn't the Arctic cold against your chin?
@Pelagius: Very few Society for the Preservatio of Southern Anachronism members are brazen to fly their flag on their property -- or, even, funded enough to support a flag-pole. But on the back of the pick-up truck, of course. Chevy or Ford only, though. No Rice Rockets!
"... displaying the flag is a somewhat more infrequent practice among people with less education and lower annual incomes than among those who are better educated (and better off)."
More support for the forced sterilization bill now waiting for Cheney's signature. It was adopted by the Office of the Vice President while in its legislative incarnation.
Looks sorta like old Uncle Joe is about to bust his nut into the Iraq/Iran/Afghan area. Say what you want, the old murderous paranoid knew where to plant the seeds of dischord.
Well, the president tells me that in order to be a patriot, I have to agree with the mindless, breast-thumping, jingoistic, xenophobic, end-times-believing, unilateralist group of mind-numbed incompetents that run the show in the White House, and I now don't like the White House, I guess that means I am forced to be a non-Patriot. Vive France!
@biggie smalls:
You'd be surprised at how many folks in Rural East Texas either fly their Stars and Bars on the trailer porch or use that banner as the curtain for the window that faces the County Road.
Then again, maybe you wouldn't be all that surprised.
BTW, the really hardcore types here fly the "Republic of Texas" banner.
I've been waiting for this moment...now it's my time to shine!
Never mind the flag, I'll just have some apple pie.
@Unamerican: Shoes.
Paging the Thin White Duke...
Have you have been an un-American?
Just you and your idol singing falsetto 'bout
Leather, leather everywhere, and
Not a myth left from the ghetto
This whole thing reminds me of a line from an old "Three Stooges" film:
"Your minorities are creeping into our majorities, until you're making our majorities minorities!".
