We the People

Take our Fourth of July quiz to find out how American you truly are.

B. Hack a hole in it and wear it as a poncho to rock 2004's Super Bowl XXXVIII, like Kid Rock. (-2)

C. Find two gay men to appear in a 1990 Rock the Vote commercial with you while you wear nothing but combat boots, lacy red lingerie, and a great big American flag, like Madonna. (1)

B. America has never needed immigrants or their cultures to weave a complex tapestry of peoples so, seriously, stay the fuck out. (-2)

Total Score:

-7 to -1 points: You're about as American as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or Osama bin Laden. But you're probably white and were born here. Boo.

0 to 2 points: You're the average American. Don't travel overseas, though — you might make us look bad to other cultures.

3 to 4 points: You're educated enough to be called an enemy of America by the Christian Right, but not quite artsy (or gay) enough for them to call you an enemy of God.

5 points: Holy mother of Lincoln, you bleed red, white and blue. We're proud that you're an American!
