    Are you a patriot?

    Do you believe in this nation enough that you would sacrifice your life for this country?

    Do you believe in the process no matter which party is in power?

    Do you believe in the citizens, that they are collectively making the best decisions for this nation?

    US citizens only, you Canadians and other squatters go bugger off.

    Poll is public.

    According to some members of the forum, being a patriot means swallowing the government's lies like an idiot and looking the other way whenever they're caught doing something corrupt or abusive.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.
    --John Adams

    I voted yes because overall I am, do I "believe" and agree in all aspects of our govt and country, NO but I still believe its the best in the world

    Its important to note that my generation was taught to be patriotic, in school our vidoes were 8mm and black and white. We were shown video of WW2, some WW1, Korea.

    School didnt socially engineer and the school day was mostly spent on the subjects.

    So you are going to get different answers and views from younger generations.
