One-in-five U.S. Millennials see American flag as sign of ‘intolerance’ and ‘hatred
The National Sentinel ^ | December 4, 2018 | National Sentinel

(National Sentinel) Warning Sign: A new survey found that roughly 20 percent of American Millennials have been brainwashed into believing that the U.S. flag is a symbol of “intolerance and hatred.”

According to the “State of American Patriotism Report,” which was designed to assess the patriotism and historical knowledge of young Americans, also found that six in 10 Millennials (ages 22-37) actually believe the United States is racist and sexist.

As bad as these results are, it gets worse: The survey results indicate that love for country is declining among young Americans in general.

For instance, nearly half — 46 percent — of young Americans between the ages of 14 and 37 did not agree with the statement, “America is the greatest country in the world.” Also, more than half — 53 percent — say the U.S. is a sexist country, while 54 percent said our country is racist.

The survey was conducted by the public opinion firm YouGov for the Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness (FLAG), a non-profit organization that educates Americans “about the values and principles that make our nation exceptional,” CNSNews.com reported.

FLAG founder Nick Adams said he was “totally unprepared” to see the “epidemic of anti-Americanism” that was revealed in the survey.

Agreed. When Mark White was Texas Governor, he had all the public school teachers take the State’s G.E.D. test and 25% failed it. I doubt there has been any improvement.

Baby boomers and “the greatest generation” are not the same group. One begins where the other ends.

I would hope that the young azzholes who believe this crap will have the opportunity to visit some other nation(s) to see how we are in comparison. May I recommend Venuzuela, Cuba, North Korea and pretty much any place in Africa. See what a lousy country we have when viewing Shitholeia first hand.

Ingrateful bastards!

Only 1 in 5? Given the brainwashing our education system delivers, I find this mildly encouraging.

If parents would cut off the moola from these ingrates, they would probably have a different opinion.

According to this report, Millennials see the race wars and sectarian violence incited by the CIA arming terrorists throughout the world under Obama as an improvement over the leadership of Washington running the country post revolution? Did I read that correctly? Who put this data together, and why would they purposely ignore the facts? This was a poorly written article and not use very skewed and incomplete data

Run-up to the civil war continues. If the young hate America, who do we think is going to defend it? America as constituted will not even survive to 2030, I suspect.

One would think they would be fleeing the country screaming in the night. Mexico is offering refugee status to those who are oppressed in a country immediately bordering their national boundaries.

I would say this for the Vietnam draft dodgers who fled to Canada - they at least had enough courage in their convictions to carry out the flight.

Even if they did it in secret and did not announce beforehand they were going.

Maybe these millennials could also successfully exfiltrate. Cuba or Venezuela are neither one so very far away.

Really? Where the heck has he been? I am surprised it’s not worse. When the snowflakes truly take over the country will be ripe for the Morlocks mow us down.

Tried to tell those who thought it just fine that the "Confederate Battle Flag" be derided as "racist" and "divisive" that once they rid the public display of it they would come for the US flag as it would not be seen as "pure' enough.

Told you so.

Knowing what they know of history and current events, "Bold and innovative" is my guess.

you miss the point

many if not most are girls who have been trained since conception to aspire “to make a difference” the difference must be accomplished in America

When they started successfully going after the Confederate flag, I remember some saying the American flag and the Founding Fathers would be next. And so it is coming to pass. After all, slavery existed in the CSA for 4 years, but in the US for over 80. If the symbol of one is ‘hateful’ so must be the other. Many of the Founding Fathers owned slaves and those who didn’t tolerated it. They all must go.

Ideas that a few years ago would be considered bizarre (eg. the idea that a man becomes a woman by just saying he’s a woman) are now accepted, and any who challenge the absurdities is condemned as a hater. To quote a song from the Revolution, “The world is turned upside down.”
