Virginia is largely the home of government these days so it naturally has a large number of retired and active duty military personnel.

They mixed some things together that they shouldn’t have, like military enlistments that Utah is 48th on, to volunteerism, which of course Utah is number 1 on.

I also note that some of the most socialist states in the nation get very high marks for being patriotic.
That isn’t an example of patriotism to me.

How Patriotic is Your Home State?
State ranking includes:
...percentage of people who join the Peace Corps, and
...people who searched Google for the American flag
-
True patriots, they.

I find it hard to believe that my socialist state of Washington came in No.2.

Disappointed in Texas. Thought it would be higher.

So does NY.

I think that tells you the political make-up of who designed the criteria, and this dictates how much we should pay attention to the outcome.
For all the noble acts behind the Peace Corp, I don’t think I’ve ever known a Conservative that participated.
Perhaps someone will present me with a list here, and I’ll learn something.

This was correct in Mark Twain’s time. It is still correct now

NJ is 49.
Why am I not surprised? I’m sad, but not surprised.

Did you notice Utah was something like dead last too?
I can see New York, but I don’t see Utah as a very non patriotic state.

I would agree that New York showing up dead last is not something I would expect from a Leftist effort. None the less, Maine, Washington, Oregon, all winding up as some of the most patriotic, sound strange too.

Weighted too much towards military. Maryland, the Freak State, has a lot of active and retired military, but is not that fond of the U.S.

Leftist Maryland is ranked 18th most patriotic? That is total rubbish.
To: DoughtyOne
I can see New York, but I dont see Utah as a very non patriotic state. Mormons have a history of anti-Americanism.
Remember that Mitt's family, that came to America about 173 years ago to serve Joseph Smith, are typical, and if you know their family history, it is not patriotic.
