Can you guess which state in the union holds the American flag the highest? The criteria for indicating the level of patriotism within a state population consisted of: -National Historic Landmarks per Capita -Veterans per Capita -Money Spent to Fund Veterans -Percent of Residents That Voted in the Last Presidential Election -People Who Google For American Flags to buy -People Who List America as an Interest on Facebook

No doubt California is among the least patriotic but the methodology to make these determinations is pretty flawed

If you take out Hollywood and SF, California is the most patriotic.

The data set is incomplete.

They only show 50 states.

I don’t know— I like the part about people googling American flags to buy. That’s pretty patriotic. But yeah, it’s hit and miss. Either way you slice it though, whatever the criteria, CA would always be on the bottom.

Libs are not patriotic. Plus, if you take out Hollywood and SF, not much is left anyway.

Obama spends more time fundraising in CA than any other state. What a coincidence!

California has a HUGE population of conservatives, they’re just outnumbered by the even bigger contingent of liberals.

Six of the top ten are part of the Old Confederacy. And the bottom five are five of the most Democrat states in the country.

“The data set is incomplete. They only show 50 states.”

Right you are. Completely unfair to the other 8 states.

Sorry, I don’t buy that SC (pinko L. Graham territory) and ME (hellloo, commies Snowe & Collins) are the top 2 “patriotic” states. Not by a long shot.

I suspect California has some of the most patriotic Americans in the country .... along with a great number of the least, including hundreds of thousands who cheer for Mexico but accept USA EBT, AFDC, Section 8 housing, etc. etc. etc. and burn Old Glory.
Kick them all out. Then a five year moratorium on all new immigrants, fake and real.
Build an Israeli wall, man it adequately, and then we can start talking about “reform” and war with Mexico, in whatever order/
