Not as American as Sgt Lizzie

I knew before I answered some of those questions that I wouldn't score very high.

You Are 64% American

I think guns should be reserved for the milita (standing), I favored the Naval Academy graduate, nuclear engineer, over the actor and the draft dodger, and if you said "hell yeah" to a perfect America, then the only way for you to go from here is down. We warehouse our elders in "homes" so that we don't have to take care of them; almost half of the children in America aren't covered by health insurance; and the obesity/fitness epidemic has reached the point where many youth attempting to join the military can't pass the physical tests!! We may be the greatest nation on Earth in military power and democratic principles, but we can't rest on our laurels. We don't need health insurance, we need health care, and for all Americans; we need to take care of the oldest members of society by helping them lead meaningful lives for as long as possible, integrating them into the life of society, and every American should perform government service for 2 years after high school, in return for scholarships that secure their educational or career training.

My high school social studies class was taught how America is like a salad; with the different ingredients representing the different social, ethnic, and racial diversities of our nation. Where we win is how we forge the best ideas from all sources into new visions, new goals. (Excalibur/ Arthur to Merlin: which qualities of a knight do you say are most important? Ans: Well, they blend, like the metals in a fine sword.) Our nation is that blended sword. I defend your right to have a survey, but it doesn't work, because I'm 100% American despite what you say. (And Southern by the Grace of God to boot!)
