Patriotism

[Hatman 🍁]

EarlAW, Goldwater, please stop hating America so much.

LOL look who's talking

[PBrunsel]

I am in favor of patriotism. This is because I love this country where hard work pays off and anyone can grow up to be successfull.

[ilikeverin]

I'm patriotic... about Indiana   And East Timor :S I think I'm more patriotic about East Timor than America, oops

Overall, I'm neutral.  It can get kind of annoying sometimes, especially when people accuse you of being unpatriotic because you are liberal

[Bono]

Mixed feelings. As Philip noted, it can lead to more government control, but without it, we'd all be living in a couple of superestates.

[MODU]

I am, and always will be Patriotic, even when my nation does something wrong.  We are all human, including those in our government.  We should be mature enough to except reality and yet hold on to the dream which this country shares. 

[MaC]

Patriotism is by and large a good thing... Nationalism on the other hand is by and large a bad thing.

Perhaps oversimplified, but it's what I tend to think

agreed

[The Dowager Mod]

Depends on the type of patriotism.

EarlAW, Goldwater, please stop hating America so much.

LOL look who's talking

Alcon was most certainly joking.

[riceowl]

I'm not patriotic.

America embarasses me sometimes. but least i'm not French imagine that!!!!!!

At one time, Miss Catholic had some resemblense of sense in her posts.

Then why the "Look who's talking"?  If you realized it was a joke why did you need to retort?

Freedom of speech?

[Machiavelli]

How could you possibly hate our very own UNION INDEPENDECNEC DAY? Are you a Confederate? Do you celebrate February 4th instead? Please leave my nation if you are not to love it with your heart.

  I was not debating the legality of whether or not you can say random nonsensical things.  I was asking what prompted you to say it.

Well yes, since you keep responding.  Good way to ignore the questions I asked in my post btw.

Ok! I admit it. I'm not funny. My attempt at a joke has led me to shame. I am sorry.

That is more like it.  Fall down on your knees and beg me for my forgiveness.

It can be used for....

let's celebrate the day we seperated from an oppresive ruler and gained our independence as a nation! 

or

flying our flags outside after the 9/11 attacks

Wee!  I love that, but it can be...

let's bomb the  out of those A-rabs and if you don't want to your un-American. 

That's the BS redneck patriotism that half the country practices. 

[??????????]

So "TakeourCountryaway" you believe the war on terrorism is wrong?

If you don't like the country you can leave.  I'm sure Gabu, Siege and the rest of the Canadians would gladly welcome you.

[Joe Republic]

StatesRights and Preston, patriotism is also standing up and disagreeing with certain people.  TakeOurCountryBack clearly doesn't 'hate' America - he hates the people that he feels are destroying it.  Which shows that he's just as patriotic as all the flag-waving warmongerers.

If undermining a war effort is "patriotic" then this country is f*ed.
