"An amazing 44 percent of all respondents said they didn’t often feel proud to be American."

Amazing how many important divisions lie along that 40-ish to 50-ish percent line, isn't it?

53% by 10 Pound Test

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

“... but we will eventually correct them....”

Damn right. By any means necessary.

“When asked if respondents “often feel proud to be American,” a majority of strong liberals, 60 percent, said no.”

How many of these Bass Turds have ever even been to another country or lived or fought in another country? How can they compare how great they have it here? How many of them have ever talked to someone who used to live in a former communist country under oppression to hear what it’s like? Let them listen to someone who lived in Hungary, Poland, Yugoslavia, or Czechoslovakia and then tell me you’re not the most blessed human on Earth to be able to live here. How many of these dumba$$es in the poll even knows who Thomas Jefferson was? How many can even name on person who signed the Declaration of Independence? I know what my ancestors had to endure in this country to insure our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and I’ll be damned if I am gonna let these pissants throw away all our hard earned freedoms.

Could be, but would you really want to be physically in, say, a Newark, NJ or a Detroit?

The Soviet Union had its gulags, the Nazis their concentration camps and Pol Pot had the killing fields.

We don’t and won’t need that here when and if we ever get into power. It is enough for them never to teach children again. Execution, no. It is what the Left wants to do to us. We have God. They are godless.

Bravo you three, well said and I agree 100%.

I will always have pride in MY country and in the beautiful and brilliant founding of this great country.
I think this is an opportunity to turn the dialogue around, if the blind who say they are not proud of this country, each and every last one of them should be bold enough to state exactly why. I have little doubt how easy it would be to dispel with their nonsense.

If that fails, make ‘em eat it and hit the freakin road, be gone! Btw, we all know who they are, they have revealed themselves completely over the last 6 years without a doubt.

There are Americans .... and then there are liberals.

They’re NOT the same thing.

Combine a race war with a depression, add in power system attacks by Muslims - sounds like the historic formula for “
scapegoat time” AND the Internet makes it possible for the public to know who did what to who, why they did it, ad nauseam.

IMHO, counting on forgetfulness in the Internet Era is a futile hope, and man’s history is that the ruined are less than forgiving.

Once, before Judeo-Christian theology was watered down, forgiveness required restitution. When restitution is impossible, what then?

Forgiveness is unlikely, as most of mankind isn’t Jesus, doesn’t have Eternity ahead of them, and doesn’t suffer fools (or thieves) willingly.

PS They don’t like seeing their children being impoverished.

PPS Got rope?
