Poll on pride in the USA

[Robert W]

I am proud to be an American. I will post a photo to lay some of it out. Are you proud to be an American too? Would you like to explain why you are? What does Winco have to say? I would love to hear from ChristisKing too. Frankly, love to see who will add to the poll numbers and lay out a case too.

 

[pal]

Is America a big gay country? Is USA more gay than France and Germany?

Gays likes men.

 

[ChristisKing]

Obviously, why wouldn't I be?

 

[pal]

White Christian. I keep my homeland hidden.

 

[pal]

Obviously, why wouldn't I be?

True American.

Are you proud to be an American?​

That is a loaded question.

• Am I proud to be an American? Sure.
• But am I proud of what Americans have become? Not at all.
• And am I proud of the way America is being run and taken, both governmentally, corporately and technologically?

How could I be? Despite all that Trump has done and tries to do, he has still only scratched the surface, and they fight him tooth and nail. Corporations bleed us dry trying to make every cent they can with no thought past 2 years down the road. There is no such thing as customer service anymore. And now we are trying to replace people's bodies with machines and people's minds with AI computers.

America is failing, I feel sorry for people growing up today and even worse for their children, they will never know the America I did. We cannot go on like this adding a trillion in debt each year, already 40 trillion in debt, so I remain proud of the people of America more so than those who run and exploit it for they are the ones who have brought us to this point, while the smart Americans don't want it this way and see the cliff we are heading for as a nation if we don't somehow change direction very soon.

Are the rich happier and considered money as important as life? Is money your great substance? Are you proud of your income?

You said yes but I checked the voting and did not see your name?

 

[toobfreak]

You said yes but I checked the voting and did not see your name?

A). I don't like polls which take names.

B). I did not vote because all choices were either/or, and no one selection tells the full story. I am proud of the good and smart and patriotic people of this country; not so much for most of those running it, nor the democrats exploiting/tearing it down/ruining it.

As I Christian I don't willfully engage in the sin of pride.

Scripture teaches that God is no respecter of persons, nor is He a respecter of nations.

The premise of the OP goes against my core beliefs.

 

[ChristisKing]

As I Christian I don't willfully engage in the sin of pride.

Different kind of pride.

 

[Zincwarrior]

As a Texan, I am proud that the other states wisely joined with our Greatness in 1845.

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

Appalachiastan.

 

[MarcATL]

Different kind of pride.

List the different types of prides out there.

This country is not a Democratic country, and you know it by listening to them whine.

There's the selfish kind of pride where somebody believes that they're better than everybody else, there's the kind of unselfish pride that makes you and other people around you feel good and then we'll you know about this kind of Pride already.

 

[d0gbreath]

I voted yes because everyone else did. I liked Ike when I was too young to know anything, plus he was a great president that was born not to far from where I'm sitting. My patriotism has waned over the decades, but slight patriotism is still a yes vote.

 

[jacksonlamb]

I am certainly not proud of my government.
