Why am I not surprised?
A recent Pew Research poll found that 60 percent of those calling themselves strong liberals say they don’t “often feel proud to be American“.
Conservatives, on the other hand, responded yes to the same statement 72 to 81 percent.

Gosh. Does that mean one group has what’s best for the country in mind and the other group does not?
Well, we agree on that then. I’m not proud to have strong liberals be Americans either.
Progressives think they want to live in a communist country.
But they really don’t.
I like to wish people “Happy Independence Day” instead of Happy 4th of July. Sometimes there is a knowing nod when I say that…like a patriotic secret handshake.
I am proud to be an American.
I am ashamed to be a subject of the U.S. govt.
And, no, those two statements don’t contradict each other, Bill Clinton notwithstanding.
@Uncle Al — he said that? I guess he really did lie about inhaling, didn’t he?
Not as much so the past six years!
Those who don’t “often feel proud to be American”
are the ones in charge.
@AbigailAdams – Yes, he did. I almost always provide links when I quote anyone. The link in that post takes you to the transcript of Slick’s comments at Michigan State University’s 1995 Spring Convocation.
Ya can’t be a proud American and a proud commie at the same time.
Uncle Al,
I am proud to be an American and I despise anyone who messes with the Constitution of the United States of America, particularly my government. And that goes double for Supreme Court Justices who should know better.
I just wonder what country a liberal would say that he’s proud to be from?
Liberals will be proud of America when Obama completes his mission to turn America into another commie hellhole.
Stirrin. A liberal would be proud to call Bram Stoker’s Transylvania, home. Home of the blood suckers.

I once had the distinct honor of being quoted by the late, great Andrew Breitbart. He was writing a column in 2009 when I sent him an email about liberals and patriotism in regard to Obama’s inauguration.
He used it in his column:
[As I was writing this piece, I received the following unsolicited email from a Big Hollywood reader: “Reminder to liberal celebrities: It’s time to set your Fluctuating Patriotism Clock from “Hate America” to “Love America” on Jan. 20th. Remember, it’s “Springsteen Ahead – Falwell Behind.” Funny.]
Why should they be proud? Michelle was only proud of this country once and that was seven years ago.
I suspect Liberals are coming from the multi-culti, diversity, citizen-of-the-world world view. It’s hard to be proud to be an American if you don’t know our history. Ergo, they are talking from ignorance. How surprising.
Uncle Al — I wasn’t questioning the quote, just chagrined. I suppose he was president at the time, right?
Lliberals! If ya ain’t pissin ’em off yer just not trying hard enough!!
Of course liberals aren’t proud to be Americans. Liberals are these little neurotic malcontents who are simply not constitutionally (little “c”) capable of happiness or gratitude.
I always believed liberals should all have to serve at least two years in the military. No peace corp crap. Military.
I really wanted all the hippie Woodstock liberal turds rounded up at Woodstock and forced into military service.
That’s how much I hate those pricks.
Getting from Edinburgh Airport to the city centre is very straight-forward, affordable and will take
around 30 minutes. For more on secret societies which command huge hidden power,
see the deeply revealing reports from reliable major media
sources available here. And you can trace much of that strategy back to a 2008 memo by San Francisco’s
master of crisis communications, Sam Singer.
Annoy a liberal? He’ll, we should all torch a liberal this 4th of July.
American children taught from kindergarten to college to hate the United States, while we stand by and tolerate it, in the form of the current GOP leadership.
We can’t complain much, can we.
