How American are you?
This is a survey/poll, the more right wing your answers means the more American you are. Its pretty embrassing.

2. 38% American.
You Are 38% American
America: You don't love it or want to leave it.
But you wouldn't mind giving it an extreme make over.
On the 4th of July, you'll fly a freak flag instead...
And give Uncle Sam a sucker punch!

7. What I want to know is
What was with the sports grouping? I watch NASCAR, but not wrestling. I watch baseball, and some football (but NASCAR comes first). I hit football and baseball to not be associated with wrestling.

14. I had a problem with that one too
I'm a soccer fan (and player and coach) but for some reason they grouped it with women's basketball, which I don't watch (obviously because they both attract nutcase liberals who either love Europe or women working outside the home) ... I ended up with football and baseball because it was the only choice where I actually follow both (I don't do NASCAR and wrestling either)

5. Could be worse...
I came up at 51%...

"Most times you are proud to be an American.
Though sometimes the good ole US of A makes you cringe
Still, you know there's no place better suited to be your home.
You love your freedom and no one's going to take it away from you!"

I can't argue with this.

25. I tried my best for a zero but only got 26% must be because my position on
gun control has changed dramatically since 2000. What's with the sports question?

Most women I know don't watch sports at all, what about the women respondents? Oh wait, I forgot, irrelevant 2nd class citizens.

29. It's an un-American poll, so it is moot.
It's an un-American poll, so it is moot.

I'm descended from pilgrims, reformers, patriots, related to three Presidents and a President of the Confederacy. And I'm a liberal Democrat. The right-wingers are the ones who want to bring theocracy to a (once) democratic nation.

30. 48%
Though I suspect it would have been lower if I hadn't had to check boxes close to but not exactly how I feel.

Amusing and sad at the same time.

I'm still mulling over the cheese question....I prefer certain British and Italian cheeses, so I was flummoxed, LOL!

31. Your right
Like others said I could not finish it.
A few things I did not know I had to like to be an "American". (See note below)

1. You have to drink to be "American"
2. You have to get some kind of stereo type of canadians. (Thought they were just people.)
3. It matters what you drive or don't drive.
4. How much money you owe or don't makes a difference how "American" you are.
5. Whoever wrote this does not know Flag protocol or law. You burn a flag to dispose of it. Personally I have burned several in Scout ceremonies. I guess this makes me some kind of anarchist.
6. You have to like country music to be an "American"
7. Really the whole list sucks.

Note: American means someone from the Americas. Which includes Canada to the tip of South America. So next time someone asks one of our Canadian DU'ers if they are "American" please say yes. Then tell them all Canadians are also. Then just watch how confused they get.

32. I think it's just an amusing skit on the Freeper / RW notion
that you have to be some kind of fascist nut to be considered a true American. Getting "un-American" from the poll is a compliment to one's sanity, imho (but at 19%, perhaps you might dismiss my views as dangerously pinko!)

42. It IS satire
It's not supposed to be taken seriously.

No one truly American could rank any higher than 48%.

36. What does mode of transportation have to do with being American?
How do you get around?

- In a new (less than 5 year old) car
- By foot or public transportation
- In an old car

Which one makes you more american??

40. Obviously, a new car is the "correct" American answer here ...
though they should have included SUV at 5 gallons per mile as an even more "American" answer.

38. hmm...56%
Some of the answers to the question were ignorant. If there were more choices I'm sure my score would have been much lower.

Interesting, though.
