ellyssianI took that "How American Are You?" quiz, and, in addition to several choices where nothing was worth answering (the sports one? WTF? women's basketball and soccer? I can't see watching one leading to the other... and what happened to hockey?) I could see which answers were intended to lead towards being considered American...
Sadly, it becomes apparent that you have to be against everything that our Founders held dear - it's quite obvious that if you're not a Republican, NRA member, pro-military, light beer drinking, arrogant, insular yet meddling, scum of the earth, you're not American to this quiz.
Funny.
If there were any Americans left, GW would have been ridden out of office on a rail.
As one friend pointed out a while ago, the Constitution is a liberal document - it grants freedoms that are at the core of what America should be about - and it is wise to be conservative of it - to preserve the freedoms within, and not to restrict it or change it or destroy it. As another on my friend's list was pointing out earlier today, the Founders of this country would be appalled to see how things are progressing.
Bah.
Want to be un-American? Support the current regime and continue dismantling everything the country stood for. Waving all the flags you want doesn't help a bit if you burn, rip, and destroy what they symbolized.

| You Are 31% 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! |
