How We Measured Patriotism In The Best Country On Earth
To find out how patriotic each state was, we first made a list of criteria that we considered to be pretty indicative of proud Americans. Those criteria were:

National Historic Landmarks per Capita
Veterans per Capita
Money Spent to Fund Veterans
Percent of Residents That Voted in the Last Presidential Election
People Who Google For American Flags to buy
People Who List America as an Interest on Facebook
We got this data from sources including the 2012 U.S. Census, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Google Trends, Facebook, and Wikipedia.

We then ranked each state from one to 50 in each category, with one being the best possible score. We then averaged those scores into one Big Deal Score, with a lower score indicating greater patriotism.

And Texas, before you panic and run out to buy a third American flag, you guys ranked No. 14, so you’re still very patriotic and we salute you.

Based on what?

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Maine is #2?



....really?


Just because all 4 people who live there...

[KCrockaholic]

Texas and Washington are both #14. Ok.

[Bugeater]

Eh, yeah, this.

[Deberg_1990]

Missouri and Kansas......I am disappoint.

I've always wanted to live in Maine.

[sfuria]

I've always wanted to live in Maine.

I lived there for two years, hated it. People were friendly, but the state govt taxed the hell out of you. I moved from Seattle to Maine while working for the same company and the same pay. After all the yearly tax fees (none of which I had in seattle) and the higher cost of living, I ended up taking about a 10k pay cut.

Ironic that the first state to secede from the Union loves America the most.

#2 and #3 have a shred of credibility, the rest are dumb.

[BWillie]

Well, they did get California right

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Meth isn't patriotic

[Why Not?]

I'll take top 10. Number 10 but still top 10. But really this list is stupid. 85% of people who live in my state aren't even American

[notorious]

#2 and #3 have a shred of credibility, the rest are dumb.

Yep.

[BigCatDaddy]

CA at 50 makes sense.

[KCCHIEFS27]

Um, South Carolina number 1? Sure they have a lot of red, white and blue, but it is in the form of the confederate flag. Sooooo..

[bsroyals54]

This might be a dumb question but are M-80's illegal?

LMAO

[Rasputin]

Go fly your American flag that's made in China that makes you more Patriot than me?


I don't vote because I hate the dip shits that run for office. I want a better 'Merica than they have to offer.




Can you even find an American made flag??

EVERYTHING IS MADE IN CHINA

[BucEyedPea]

Maine is #2?

I was surprised at that myself since it's one of the most left-wing progressive states in the nation.

[Kaepernick]

Kommiefornia is dead last.

No surprise there.

[chiefsfan987]

Texas and Washington are both #14. Ok.

Don't forget South Dakota. They're 14 too you know.

[BullJunkandIron]

I just finished a 2 year contract at GE in Greenville, SC. My experience in SC is they hate Obama more than eating white bread without having ranch dressing to dip it on. I also learned that Mac n cheese is a vegetable.

Lol

[ILChief]

Texas should be last. Most of them adore their state flag more than the US flag. Plus they threaten to secede all the time. Any confederate state should be at the bottom as well.


But hey they have lots of waffle houses and like America on Facebook...

[rtmike]

Just as soon as Arthur is done with the SE I want a recount. :spock:

YOU Have no one on either side of any issue that gives 2 shits what a non voter thinks... But... If you are clueless on the issues, I prefer you not vote...

[BullJunkandIron]

I would vote for a dog turd over Obama. Does that count?

[sd4chiefs]

Um, South Carolina number 1? Sure they have a lot of red, white and blue, but it is in the form of the confederate flag. Sooooo..

They must of also ranked them by the number of fried chicken restaurants and southern Baptist churches.

[ILChief]

That's what the GOP usually nominates, so yes it counts

[Predarat]

DC should be ranked 99. Surprised Illinois, Michigan, New York and Mass were not ranked lower either.

[Cannibal]

That's what the GOP usually nominates, so yes it counts

Lol

[notorious]

You are giving them too much credit.

[Aries Walker]

Missouri appears to be misnumbered: it's actually #20. Mississippi is #36, and Michigan #45.

[aturnis]

Basically any state with a high rate of retirees is considered patriotic. Retarded.

I can be well informed of the issues but if the options to vote for are

A) Shit

B) Poop

Or

C) Dung


Then I'm choosing not voting for crap.

[KChiefs1]

Based on what?

Fixed it for ya.

[notorious]

They should have measured patriotism by counting the amount of US military, gun, and Obama hate emails that are forwarded in each state.

[KChiefs1]

I would have gone by how many love John Wayne & own a gun.

[Shaid]

#2 and #3 have a shred of credibility, the rest are dumb.

Don't really agree on the veterans per capita part. Lots of veterans don't return to their home state based on a job they get somewhere else once they leave the military, etc. Take the percent of kids joining the military from each specific state for a more accurate number.

[Predarat]

Basically any state with a high rate of retirees is considered patriotic. Retarded.

Its because of those damn blue hairs in those states going around constantly mumbling the chourus to the song "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy".

[ptlyon]

Well, that's Iowa

[cosmo20002]

Based on what?

You can tell if a person loves or hates America by whether they are wearing a flag lapel pin. Yes, even on a t-shirt.

[Gonzo]

They must've hit up Alaska during tax refund time.

[Rasputin]

Going by the colors of the map looks like the states with peach or light blue are not very patriotic at all. So Kansas is patriotic with blue. Red White & Blue colored states are patriotic.

[Tombstone RJ]

#4 Wyoming, whoop, whoop!

[Bambi]

Love the Kansas ranking.

[KChiefs1]

Can't get this to post.
