---Let's see how you did---

Answers:

1. D. If you missed this, you're probably a communist.

2. C. I actually had the opportunity to perform with Lee Greenwood when I was in college. People got so excited they almost threw whatever they had in their arms, including babies. It was almost dangerous levels of patriotism. Almost...

3. C. The US would go over the top and win. If you have no idea what this is refering to, check this video out, the final arm-wrestling scene from the movie Over The Top.

4. D. Rambo is the best. Not because he was the best on this list, but because he was also Rocky, who wore the American Flag Shorts and even made the Russians chant "USA". I'm sorry, but no one can beat that level of patriotic power.

5. D. Get the pledge right or don't say it at all.

6. D. No hot dog topping is more or less patriotic if you put them on your hot dog in America. This is about freedom, people. Top it how you want--let freedom ring.

7. B. There is no object with more patriotic power than those shorts (unless he wore a flag, which he couldn't because 1. it might look like a skirt, and 2. it might touch the ground). Because he has those shorts, he would destroy Rambo. Honorary Mention for choosing D: wow, what a fight.

8. C. If you do not stand up EVERYTIME you hear Lee Greenwood sing that song, you have no self-respect or love for this country. Keep sitting, Benedict Arnold.

9. D. This, again, is pretty self-explanitory. Try it. Follow the instructions and see how right it feels.

10. D. Geez. If you forgot, take this Friday to remember. The flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away...(hey)


Hope you enjoyed the quiz...it was made all in good fun. Enjoy your 4th! Leave me your scores in the comments....
