Why is patriotism so high in the USA?

Because America is willing to send its military to slaughter the populaton of any other country to get what the american public wants. It will subvert any nation with its CIA thugs. It has created more so called terrorists in this world than any other nation. PATRIOTISM.....THE LAST REFUGE OF A SCOUNDREL. America.....the land that spouts about christianity but does not practice it. Its sick can die on the street or float dead in New Orleans a week after a storm. America....you have nothing I want to emulate.
