Its no surprise. On the one hand you have the leftists who have never been and never will be proud of this country and those who are so disgusted and disillusioned that they won’t be bothering to celebrate this year, and you wind up with a very low number. Surprised its over 50%.

Looking at Washington D C, it is very hard to be extremely proud to be an American.
First: Looking at the Executive Branch makes me want to puke.
Second: Legislative branch is even worse.
Third: Judicial is as political as the first two and tries to usurp both branches power(s).
The three branches of Government and the people that put and keep them in power have complexity bastardized everything the Founders gave us. And now I fear, it is too late to save.
No, I am no longer “Extremely Proud” to be an American. Like many others, I love my country but I am deathly afraid of my government and it’s favored classes.

Looking at Washington D C It's truly a fantasy land.
All the boys wear 1000 dollar suits and the girls have 400 dollar handbags, shoes, and dresses.

The clintons have done their job. Still moving at full speed
Make that the liberals. It's been an important part of the left-wing's agenda for decades now to erode the pride and belief of citizens in American exceptionalism, and liberal control of the school system and mass media has enabled that.

My flag is safely tucked away also.

What do we celebrate? The TSA throw down of Hanna Cohen, or the arming of FDA?
My country wasn’t this.

This is understandable when you think that half of the people living here are only here for the freebies and government handouts and still “identify” as whatever the hell they were before sneaking into the country.And a good portion of the other half are offspring of the above.
