True patriots:
1) Question our leadership, the better to make them accountable for their actions. They are, after all, our employees.
2) Challenge dogmatic nationalistic reflexes of their less calmly thoughtful neighbors
3) Are capable of guilt feelings over the wrongs this country has done to minorities at home and abroad, because they REFLECT on the US's present and past actions.
No conservative understands any of these. They make him bristle with rage.

I have been called a patriot. A true believer that the US Constitution means what is says and should be intrepreted to mean what the Founding Fathers intended... They were very wise. A true Patriot is also someone who is willing to put thier live on the line for our Country and to preserve our Freedoms. We have many Patriots who have served in the armed forces and who have died for our rights. God Bless them all real good.

One who stands up for what is wrong and makes it right! Even if heavily opposed by the "sheep" and attacked by this administration!
There are so very few patriots right now. We need some now more then ever.
The REAL threat for the first time in our history is INTERNAL.
Wake up people before its too late!!

Every last person that has championed the traditional values of this great nation, and actually DONE something to defend them. So, obviously, the servicemen and women are at the top of the list.
