Richie,you and I have political differences and that's O.K.But when you post total garbage and spin it your way I take exception. 2x more patriotic? The first sentence says"conservitives are twice as likely as liberals to express very strong patriotism". So that means there 2x more patriotic? Only if you don't read the rest of the article. Here were 3 of the choices given...Extremely patriotic was choice 1 very patriotic was choice 2 and somewhat patriotic was choice 3. Now suppose you choose #1 and I choose #2. Does that make you 2x more patriotic? No.no.no. Nice try. I might also point out that patriotism has many different meanings,it is certainly not a blind trust in all we as a country do and waving the flag does NOT mean you are a patriot.
