Are you a USA chanter?
Do you blindly follow where no generation has blindly followed before?
Are you People or Sheeple?

Ironically, yes patriotism could imply that depending on what your country believes in. For instance, in Nazi Germany it was quite patriotic to turn in Jews.
However, what our country is supposed to believe in means that we stand up to those who propogate injustice. True patriots of this country are willing to die for what they believe in.
A true patriot would not be intimidated by acts of terrorism. They wouldn't act like frightened sheep running to the proverbial sheperd hoping that he/she could protect them.
A true patriot of this country doesn't suspend basic rights for people, citizen or not. A true patriot does not condone torture, as it is against everything that we stand for.
A true patriot does not take away the rights of the many in the name of security.
True patriots of this country have an event like 9-11 happen and say, "Is that all you got?!". True patriots don't let fear change the way they live.
In this day and age, our country is lacking in true patriots.

The 3rd house is about communication, it's the Gemini house cusp. I would think your Moon in the 3rd would make you more emotional and care about people, home, family, friends. You like talking about feelings, personal things. Virgo has Mercury ruler as well, but it's more cerebral, the mind. Libra Mercury would be about be about things having to do with Libra; contracts; the law; the courts; legal documents. That's just a few things I can tell you.

No of course not,that's absolutely not the American way.
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by the gradual and silent encroachment of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpation."
President James Madison (1751-1836) speech, Virginia Convention, 1788
"It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government."
Thomas Paine
"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does NOT mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."
Theodore Roosevelt
"To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men."
Abraham Lincoln

No, people always tell me that I am anti-american because I believe in freedom of and freedom from religion. The last time I checked patriotism involved trying to strive for freedom, the principal on which our country was founded...

No
Yes, the principles of America
No
People
Don't have a problem being patriotic, and being a proud American. Part of that patriotism is based on the ability to dissent.

No, that's called being politically correct. Patriotism is about standing up for what is right in this country, regardless of what others think or say.

I'm not aware of anybody but you using this definition. Patriotism is wanting the best for your country.

Patriotism is about supporting your country and doing what is best for your country regardless what your personal feelings are or your party affiliation.

Good post!
It's all summarize in what I read in a bumper sticker the other day:
THINK: It's patriotic.
