I’m a Gallup responder myself. I’m extremely proud to be an American with this proviso: the America I once knew, the one I’m proud of, is gone.

But the Americans I’m proud to be among— are still here, for a while longer. And I intend to make the most of THAT.

Only 39% of Americans described themselves as “extremely” proud to be an American – but this statistic doesn’t tell the whole story. The partisan breakdown is fairly staggering, as only 29% of Democrats and 33% of Independents describe themselves as extremely proud, whereas 60% of Republicans said they are extremely proud.


Democrats are not proud to be American, because as liberals, they are pissed off about, take your pick, racism, sexism, the Supreme Court, Trump, homophobia, global warming, and how oppressed people allegedly are.

A big number of Republicans are not proud, but for different reasons. As conservatives, they are not proud of the changes in America in recent decades, and are not happy with how America has changed.

Both liberals and conservatives see big numbers of their groups not proud of America, but for different reasons.

Extremely proud? Why don’t they ask the question a different way?

Would you prefer to be a citizen of any other country?

If so, what country?

How ironic that we just went through a whole month of “Pride” having absolutely nothing to do with patriotism or any other virtue.

Only 42% of the people left in this country are Americans, so that’s not a bad number

Since the emergence of independent colonies and for all time Americans would be defined as sovereign individuals finding their identity in exercising pre-existing intangible liberties within bounds of voluntary self-restraint and accompanied by the hazards and uncertainties of personal freedoms. Their ethnicity, gender, class, and race would always be secondary expressions of humanity. The notion that true humanity required material possessions would possess no merit.

There are ever fewer because over time fewer can recognize that property must first be sourced internally in personal self-protection, opinion, religion, communications, use of abilities to labor physically and mentally, and in conscience. Only through secure exercise of those intangible liberties can one acquire the traditional manifestations of property.

For an ever-increasing number, the American Dream has become government providing laws to ensure college funds, retirement accounts, savings, affordable health care, home ownership, lifetime employment, corporate wealth, political careers, and union benefits.

We have the greatest country that the world has ever seen. The current government representing us really sucks.

I love my country.

I hate the uniparty globalist socialists at every level of government with every fiber of my being.

I think I am one of the many Americans that are never contacted by any polling company.
I am an American that is very proud of what my country was founded upon and was for the first 175 years or so.
No longer.
I still love my country, however I am not proud at all of what it has become.
I love my country, but fear & loath it’s government.
I feel like Phillip Nolan

Canada - it's right next door for you 70% disaffected 'rats. The other 30% or so or 'rats can move, too. It's any easy drive, just load up the car and go. Fidel Jr. welcomes you to his socialist paradise.

Have your Frankenshot passports ready however.

That 61% who are not proud are proud to be pedophiles, trannies, homosexuals, drag queens and welfare recipients waiting for their “reparation” millionaire tickets.

What do we expect when our Marxist/atheist government schools brainwash our kids for 12 to 16 years non-stop?

DUH! My mom as an FBI typist in WWII typed all of this as the communist plans and forewarned us......all she and her conservative friend predicted has come true as “Republicans” have passively done nothing since the early ‘60s to slow the poisoning of a nation.......too late now.....

Our country has been handed over to sodomites. Just look at the flag of sodomy that usurped the American flag at the White House recently. Our embassies around the world displaying to everyone the new motto of the country “In Gay We Trust”! Our country must repent and repent quickly.
