I had to do the "Anthem" up until around 3rd grade. Every one of us kids hated the repetition of it. Every single one, including me. They stopped doing it at my school.

Everyone has national pride, but Americans just have a bit more. It's not an "indoctrination" of nazi proportions as some would like to think. It's a unity of individualism. Us jerkoff Ami believe we have a unique, individualistic nation and we're quite willing to defend that uniqueness.

An example would be the laughs I got over the past few years of people calling us "cowboys". While, in other countries, a cowboy was considered some jackass who randomly shot people and yelled "yee-haw", us Americans laughed because we know them as independent hard-asses who wouldn't put up with anyone else's bullsh*t.

It just went to show how different we are than much the rest of the world our ancestors left.

As for flag-waving, I don't do it. But I'm proud when I see it. That day mentioned too often.. I saw people literally everywhere waving them that very afternoon. It was a sight to see driving home on the interstate and every single overpass had people of all kinds with flags draped down the sides while people were making all the noise they could in unison no matter where they were. I don't think I'll ever see anything like that again. I also think we're the only nation that would show such unification in such a circumstance.

Relate us to Fascists all you want. We are the most divided nation you'll see, but everyone here is proud of their part and will stand up for what we are in a heartbeat.
