You're as American as red meat and shooting ranges.
Tough and independent, you think big.
You love everything about the US, wrong or right.
And anyone who criticizes your home better not do it in front of you!

I know it’s just for fun, but most of the test questions imply that the most "American" choice is the knee-jerk choice, the unthinking choice. Whoever designed this test, I don't think they wanted to get a high score on their own test.
I really hate that song mentioned in the test, yet I am emotionally affected every time I hear "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", or even just read the lyrics, and I wish it were performed more often.
You march yourself right back there young man and take that test again and don't come back until you get at least an 82% score which, since that's what I got, is evidently as high as can be achieved.
It isn't unAmerican to prefer wine to beer, or dark beer to the weasel-pee that comes out of most taps. And American cheese is vastly insuperior, to use a word a friend once coined, to most other cheeses.
That said: 81%. Mitch, I question your patriotism.
I got 72% probably for not watching sports, nor caring for any of the "cheese choices" (I’m strictly Cheddar or Swiss), and living debt-free. Also as a renter, I don’t really have an American flag sans the one on my desk.

Posted by: Lileks at July 8, 2005 09:43 PM100% agreed. I prefer Juliette Binoche to Angelina Jolie, SIG to Smith and Wesson, Newcastle to Miller, and I'd do Natalie Mains in a heartbeat.
I think I lost a couple points over Lee Greenwood. I may do a rematch.
Posted by: mitch at July 8, 2005 10:07 PMOnly 59% here. I blame it on being debt-free and liking dark beer. You know, "real" beer, what my German ancestors drank.
Why not make your own, Mitch?

I have done a little bit of homebrewing, and plan on doing more.
I made a pretty good Pete's knockoff at one point.
Posted by: mitch at July 9, 2005 12:27 AMNo, I meant your own poll.

Not that the answers would have been my answers....just the closest to acceptable.
