Actually, patriotism is the love or zealous support of one's own country (or fatherland) especially in dealing with other countries. All liberals are insulted by this statement, amd I don't blame them. It's a shame that this hits home with such a biting sting. But, a reputation is a hard thing to live down and facts are stubborn things. Ask Jane Fonda. Ask Bill Clinton. Ask John Kerry. I believe that you can be a democrat in America today and still be a patriot. I just don't think you can get yourself elected to public office anymore. And that's a shame. Patriotism should motivate all politicians of both parties. Neither party should be able to arrogantly wrap itself in its patriotism while the other party's constituents call it jingoism. Is it really the ignorance of republicans that is at fault in this situation? UPDATE: Sometimes they unwittingly mock themselves, read bluetar's post again.
