that 40% - 45% of Americans think like this guy. Total emotional jingoism picked up from his fellow ignorant friends, heard on RW radio, and repeated over and over to demonstrate his so-called patriotism and machoism. Defunding public education by Republicans is partly to blame. I wonder if he even has a high school diploma? His reading comprehension is probably not so high either. I'll bet there's no public library card in his wallet. God only knows what he feels about women and minorities. This is the face of ignorance, and it is what keeps him locked in low-pay jobs and endless suffering. Very very sad.
