Am I Patriotic?

As patriotic fervor sweeps the nation in the wake of last month's tragedy, Americans have come together to boost the economy through the acquisition of vast numbers of tiny red, white, and blue ribbon lapel pins. This guerilla economic relief effort has extended to all variety of Old Glory products, from T-shirts to American flag cocktail toothpicks. While this flag resurgence has certainly been a boon to the market, it has left many Americans (without lapel pins) feeling anxious and insecure. Are Americans with lapel pins more patriotic than those without? What is patriotism? Can it be purchased and hung in a yard? Most importantly, when the time comes, will you be able to tell a REAL American from an IMPOSTER? Take this simple true/false quiz and find out if you're as American as you think your friends think you are. Good luck!
