If tomorrow all the things were gone, I'd worked for all my life. And I had to start again, with just my children and my wife.

I'd thank my lucky stars, to be livin here today. ' Cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away.

And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I wont forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today. ' Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee. Across the plains of Texas, From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston, and New York to L.A. Well there's pride in every American heart, and its time we stand and say.

That I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I wont forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today. ' Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA.

And I'm proud to be and American, where at least I know I'm free. And I wont forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today. ' Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA.

and I'm extremely patriotic

I guess you can say I am proud because I love living in the USA but I do not really care for politics or any news about our country really.

Nope. I'm proud of what I've done, not some arbitrary collective that I was born into. I respect the ideals that this country was founded upon, and to the marginal extent to which they are still practiced, but I'm a human being first. This is just where I was born.

No. I live in America, and would like to go live somewhere else but at this point in my life it would be extremely hard, so I'll just stick with this crap for now. But to label myself as "American" kills me a little inside. After-all America is just a piece of land on the world-map with a name on it, I'm on the Earth, I'm an earthling or human and that's the only label that counts.

When it comes crash down, and it hurts inside

You gotta take a stand, you dont' have to hide

If you hurt my friends, then you hurt my pride

I gotta take a stand, I can't let it slide

I am a real American

fight for the rights of every man

I am a real Americam

fight for whats right, fight for your life

I feel strong about right and wrong

I don't trouble for very long

I've got something deep inside of me

Courage is the thing that keeps us FREEEEEE

Why would you be proud of being an earthling? We're just a tiny dot in the galaxy, after all.

Yes, and America is an even tinier, more irrelevant dot in that sense.

It doesn't say I'm proud. I don't have pride, I'm a pretty depressed person. lol

As a species we've come a long way yet at the same time we keep messing up. Its like if your cute dog grows up and still pees inside. Gotta love him even though at some point he better stop pissing all over the house.

Yes, very proud. We screw up, and our screw ups are magnified in this connected 24/7 info world. But by and large this country is made up of great people who accomplish great things. Look at our last election, even if you don't like Obama. A mixed race man, with a white mother from Kansas, black dad from Africa beats a war hero who's served in the Senate for 20+ years. I can truly say you can do anything you want and become anything you want in the US.

Yes the poor start out with more disadvantages, and they have to work harder but the opportunity is still there. My father was in an orphanage until he was nearly 10, his adoptive parents died his senior year of HS, he joined the Air Force to have a home, so I understand somewhat the plight of the poor.
