Collins Report:

Gallup poll “discovers” what we already knew, liberals aren’t patriotic
July 7, 2010, 6:57 am By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Anyone who has attended a TEA Party event has been in the presence of real patriots. Looking around you see the face of America. You see people who love our country and will fight to restore and defend the freedoms they understand do not come cheaply. What you don’t see are whinny “progressives” who want to tear down America and remake her into a socialist gulag.

With rare exceptions you don’t see “academics” or Hollywood types. The people standing shoulder to shoulder with you are men and women you might meet at a Home Depot on Saturday afternoon or sit next to in church on Sunday.

A new Gallup poll shows us all of these observations are right on target.

When the pollsters asked the question: “How patriotic are you? Would you say extremely patriotic, very patriotic, somewhat patriotic, or not especially patriotic?” The answers certified everything we thought about the Leftist dregs we are constantly fighting to keep our freedom and liberties.

The survey asked a random sample of over 1000 adults how they would characterize themselves on their own patriotism.

While the overall 76% who called themselves “extremely or very” patriotic was less than what we would want, just 6% called themselves “not especially patriotic.”

Gallup found patriotism levels are highest among Republicans and conservatives and noted a 24% increase in patriotic fervor since 1999.

Liberals were the smallest group represented among those in the “Extremely” patriotic category.

We’re right about Democrats as well

Members of both major Parties and various sub groups described their level of patriotism as follows.

Republicans self identifying as “extremely” patriotic were 52%; while just 20% of Democrats could say the same.

This spells trouble for Democrats

The demographic groups most likely to vote Republican are the groups at the top of the list of those calling themselves “extreme patriots.” The number of liberals, Democrats and even Moderates in this category has fallen since 2005.

In this time period the frequently voting 65 and over group is now 19 points higher; conservatives are 15% more patriotic and Republicans are 17% more “extremely” patriotic.

This year more than ever in our lifetime patriotism will drive voters to the polls. Coupled with their big advantage in enthusiasm, it is a very good bet that Republicans will substantially outnumber Democrats at the polls this year.

Pledge your support to America. Pray for our nation’s wellbeing and stand up for your country. America needs you now more than ever. We are fighting powerful foreign AND domestic enemies.

Answer the challenge!

Educate yourself and learn who is working for America and who is working against America. If we let the sun set on this great nation we won’t see its likes again.
