Can you guess which state in the union holds the American flag the highest? The criteria for indicating the level of patriotism within a state population consisted of: -National Historic Landmarks per Capita -Veterans per Capita -Money Spent to Fund Veterans -Percent of Residents That Voted in the Last Presidential Election -People Who Google For American Flags to buy -People Who List America as an Interest on Facebook

Yup, the No. 1 criteria should be “out of state tourists per thousand residents”. Then the top 3 would be Alaska, Hawaii and Florida, and the full silliness would be obvious.

Texans are more faithful and patriotic to Texas!

Thanks.

If (or should I say WHEN) the SHTF, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near a major city. I worry about the people who live in urban areas.

A lot of people here in Maine have homes on gravel roads deep in the woods. Everything from shacks to very large, comfortable homes. Like you said, a good place to hunker down. Maine is the most heavily wooded state in America, so there is plenty of firewood for cooking and heat.

Many of the Maine people are natural born preppers....canning and prepping has been a tradition here for a very long time.

Texas the the most patriotic nation IN THE WORLD!!!! :)

NAPS, we get it. Where you live in Maryland is wonderful. There’s also some wonderful conservatives in Massachussetts. Doesn’t matter- Maryland, Massachussetts, and California are run by Leftist Regressive Moonbats and will continue to be in the near future.

Our only visit to Maine was when my wife and I were on a Vermont vacation over Memorial Day a few years ago. We saw how close we were to Maine and wanted to drive over for a romantic seafood dinner on the shore.

Before we did, Ft. McClary State Park on Kittery Point caught my eye and we had to go check it out. A grizzled old volunteer guide progressed from the typical one word answers to being quite loquacious once it appeared our interest in the local history was genuine. We kept talking until the sun set and gave us the most beautiful and spectacular reflection off the eastern shore. We had our romantic seafood dinner late, but it was well worth it to see that site. We were so awed by it that nobody even thought to take a photograph.

I grew up in Kearny. Named after Union General Phillip J. Kearny, ‘’Hero of The Wilderness’’.

Sort of fitting that the most patriotic states are depicted in red and the least are depicted in blue.

That reflects the current colors attributed to the Republican and Democrat parties, respectively.

I say "sort of fitting" because the "Republicans" have become less and less patriotic as of late.

Sorry, I don’t buy that SC (pinko L. Graham territory) and ME (hellloo, commies Snowe & Collins) are the top 2 “patriotic” states. Not by a long shot.

Same here - I've lived in Mississippi since '86 and no way it's in the top 3rd of unpatriotic States

[Thud]

It’s in the top 3rd states least visited by American tourists on vacation.
