Do you know what that is? And I can believe that Americans are watering down American pride, from the Olympics, to our everyday lives here. THIW. |

It's for people like Selkirk and Dand124 who look for content to complain about.Talk radio, like Hewitt and Prager is legit conservative discussion. |

I like shows like Rush for the entertainment value, but I don't like how he tries to get people worked up. Out here John and Ken are the worst at that. Their show is all about being outraged. Outraged about taxes, outraged about illegal immigration, outraged about welfare, outraged about unions, etc.On a side note, afaik all of our local conservative radio hosts are for gay marriage. |

I think if two men or women are in a relationship, let them have the same death, tax, and health benefits as a married couple.I also support the same-sex registry based on what I know about it. |

Americans are shamed into showing pride while everyone else is encouraged to.Not hard to understand. You see it here all the time. There have been studies done on who displays the American flag, the 4th being a Republican holiday, etc....... Very easy to understand. |

Patriotism and pride are overrated and overdone, most often to the point of jingoism. Its fine to be happy about where you come from, but you needn't put so much emphasis on it as Fox is recommending...course, Fox is REALLY upset that someone like Gabby won and is looking for more roundabout ways to spew hate.

In America, you see less patriotism from Americans, and more from foreigners.When white men display the flag on a pickup, people roll their eyes. When Latinos soup up the Toyota with Puerto Rican or Mexican flags, it's diversity and multiculturalism. I'll bet Fox has been on this story for some time. Probably since the uniform controversy. But most of the element here does not have the attention span to remember that story. (I hate those Yankees logos in Italian colors too). |

I'm sure its actually quite balanced here, and that most Americans (to some people's displeasure) proudly say where they're from when abroad...if they even get the chance to go abroad (which explains America's lack of respect for newcomers and other countries). Incoming immigrants are going to show this country what makes them unique and different from Americans, the same way Americans do when abroad. P.S. When those white men you mention (or women, or anyone for that matter) fly the CONFEDERATE flag, hell yeah you're gonna get shit on, and full well deserve it. "I'll bet Fox has been on this story for some time. Probably since the uniform controversy. But most of the element here does not have the attention span to remember that story." Fox never shuts up about anything they hate; next you'll tell me the sky is blue. And by "element" do you mean the people here like me, who can think for themselves without the need of the media and outside influences, and without showing jackass behavior toward others to show "strength" (unless they deserve it)? |

And while they come here, we go to their countries and "help ourselves" to their goods until we are satisfied (which is never), while bombing, destroying, and killing whatever and whoever (usually brown people) isn't American enough.

There are two schools of thought at play here.1.) The school that says "we're America damnit" and we should blindly be proud of EVERYTHING we do and not question anything.' or 2.) The school that says America was an imperialistic power that now should atone for her past sins and work to improve our standing in the world view. I think what we're seeing is more and more people are switching to the 2nd viewpoint which is frightening people who have the 1st viewpoint. |
