They really get on my nerves. Especially the people who cover up their car with flags and patriotic stickers. Then they would jump at you if you say anything besides 'America's he greatest country ever". The ones who would call you "unpatriotic" if you don't act "patriotic" most of the time like they do. Well I don't know about you guys but I don't care about being patriotic. America is not where it should be right now and with all the money we have etc. we could be doing a lot better. I don't have to constantly kiss the feet of a country that has screwed the middle class for so long. There I said it

Oh yes because every person who is patriotic is a redneck.

That's exactly what I mean. The people who are "patriotic" are blind to the problems going on in the country. When you bring it to their attention they call you unpatriotic because they want to believe that the country is "flawless"

Ugh that sounds just like my boyfriend's dad.
You know what he wanted for Christmas from my bf?
An American Flag shirt that he saw at Bass Pro Shop.
And he wears that thing too.

He also has like, 3 flags on the back of his motorcycle.

I kind of agree with you. I know what you mean about the economy. It really could be better. My family is really big on how the economy is going down so fast. And we need to be ready for whatever is to come. But our country does need some patriotism. At least for the veterans that fought for us when it really mattered. And for our freedom, though I don't feel completely free, not with our government. But over-patriotism is kind of annoying.

I'm not the least bit patriotic for my country
