That tells you that it was more name recognition, what's in the news, or what's been telling them things they like or are popular. I see little patriotism in that list, IMO. Jeep yeah - they've always been about that. Even the AMC years before Lee raped and pillaged it was a patriotic brand but - how can something like McDonalds be patriotic? Seriously - where does that come from? I'm not at all suggesting they are not - the CEO may drive a red white and blue AMX and have flags all over his house and salute as he walks by them - but how do you gauge the patriotism of McDonalds when they never advertise anything other than fries and burgers and I'm lovin' it?
I'd like someone to explain how a company like that is seen as patriotic? What are the indicators? How can you tell they are?
Same for some of the others - what are the indicators? They advertise a LOT?
Nike chairman; "Nike is of China and for China"Proud to be an American while I park my Jeep, kick up my Nikes, sip on some Jack and Coke, and listen to a ball game.

The Top 10:I wonder what vehicle has the most made in USA parts?
Okay, here’s where I stand:Proud to be an American while I park my Jeep, kick up my Nikes, sip on some Jack and Coke, and listen to a ball game.
WELL SAID, BROTHER!Okay, here’s where I stand:
Perhaps you saw the Twitter post of the small boy who ripped an American Flag out of his neighbor’s yard and threw it away like trash, while his mother looked on approvingly. I noted how much his and his mother’s actions reminded me of the Strumabteilung (SA) or Brownshirts in pre-war Nazi Germany. These young thugs harassed and then murdered Jews with impunity, and were a vital component of Hitler’s final solution. We have witnessed in America over the last year and a half an increasing display of this type of egregious behavior, including removing dozens of flags from the graves of American Veterans and burning those flags in the cover of night. The cowards of the Ku Klux Klan ride in the night under the cover of darkness…. America’s best do not. I offer the following:
I stand for those who cannot… those maimed or those who lie beneath the soil as a result of their Divine Devotion to Liberty… and for those yet to come. I have no patience for those who profit from the blood shed by those who went before me… and after me… into the hell of war. Bruce Springsteen is one such person, and Jane Fonda is another. When his country called, Springsteen feigned insanity to avoid his duty, and then wrote songs wrapped in the American Flag about the service of others… a service he cowardly skipped out on. Springsteen has made millions of dollars off the blood of American Service persons, and he is anything but the correct person to be spokesman for Jeep. Jane Fonda is a traitor, and should have been tried and then imprisoned for the rest of her life for her treasonous conduct in Hanoi. Americans imprisoned in Hanoi were tortured because of her, and that I cannot forget… or forgive.
I fly a flag on both sides of my Jeep, and on occasion fly the largest AMERICAN FLAG that I can buy and then attach to the rear of my Gladiator, and in my front yard I have a lighted, 25 foot, internal halyard flagpole topped by a four foot by six foot American Flag. Mess with my Jeep or my flagpole, and there is a price to pay.
I invite you to join me in proudly displaying for all to see your love for our beloved country…
Sigh. No idea what that is, and I'm afraid to google it because I'm pretty sure I'd be dumber afterward.after the Bruce Springsteen fiasco.
