Anyone who has attended a TEA Party event has been in the presence of real patriots. Looking around you see the face of America. You see people who love our country and will fight to restore and defend the freedoms they understand do not come cheaply.
What you don’t see are whinny “progressives” who want to tear down America and remake her into a socialist gulag.
With rare exceptions you don’t see “academics” or Hollywood types. The people standing shoulder to shoulder with you are men and women you might meet at a Home Depot on Saturday afternoon or sit next to in church on Sunday.
A new Gallup poll shows us all of these observations are right on target.
When the pollsters asked the question: “How patriotic are you? Would you say extremely patriotic, very patriotic, somewhat patriotic, or not especially patriotic?” The answers certified everything we thought about the Leftist dregs we are constantly fighting to keep our freedom and liberties.
The survey asked a random sample of over 1000 adults how they would characterize themselves on their own patriotism.
While the overall 76% who called themselves “extremely or very” patriotic was less than what we would want, just 6% called themselves “not especially patriotic.”
Gallup found patriotism levels are highest among Republicans and conservatives and noted a 24% increase in patriotic fervor since 1999.
Liberals were the smallest group represented among those in the “Extremely” patriotic category.
We’re right about Democrats as well
Members of both major Parties and various sub groups described their level of patriotism as follows.
Republicans self identifying as “extremely” patriotic were 52%; while just 20% of Democrats could say the same.

OH, yes the ARE partriotic!!! Just not with the U.S.!
Not patriotic? I’d say progressives are downright treasonous!
Not patriotic? I’d say progressives are downright treasonous!
Just wait. Ten more years of leftists running the public schools and Americans will think that being a “citizen of the world” equates to patriotism.
Liberals are LAZY, SELFISH, UNAPPRECIATIVE, DECEITFUL, and just plain EVIL!
Perhaps liberals should be “not especially patriotic” in, say, Canada. :)
“Liberals are LAZY, SELFISH, UNAPPRECIATIVE, DECEITFUL, and just plain EVIL!”
Not only that, but the tend to smell bad, their males are pansies and their women are ugly.
They viscerally don't want their country, their society, their culture, or their "race" to be successful. It's "envy avoidance" or "fear of envy" that drives this suicidal mindset.
They just define “patriotism” as doing all the thinking for us and telling us what’s good for us.
Uh oh, they don’t like us questioning their patriotism...
This article alone is reason to totally defeat and destroy the entire Democrat Party this coming November 2, 2010. Just remember folks, penning something on Free Republic is great, but it is not going to get Democrat politicians removed from office. Only you, casting your ballots on November 2, 2010 can do that. And....you should strive with all your drive and energy to get every family member, friends, co-workers, etc. to register to vote, and....then get out and vote on election to assure the defeat and destruction of the America hating Democrat Party and their empty suit POTUS Barack Hussein Obama!!! Get to it!!!
I believe a famous Jewish conservative radio host calls them:
“The Enemy Within”
11210 - it's not just a ZIP code in Brooklyn!
Why does this “spell trouble for democrats”? It’s democrats people!
Wow, I had to sit down to read this. Shocking. Shocking.
thanks jmaroneps37.
Followed by the “Is water wet?” and the “Is the Sun in the center of the solar system?” poll.
And yet they bristle so when people “call into question” their patriotism. They should bristle at the mirror.
