when men like dave higgins of phoenix, az did 3 tours in vietnam as a crew chief and door gunner, and got shot down every tour and won the soldiers medal as a single person award but the united states of america department of veteran affairs rules that is not a act of combat and screw the guy.... the honorable john mccain being a pow ... then you have cowards like dick cheney telling everyone else what to do such as fight and die, but not dick cheney ...
swift boat anyone you want but one day in combat is more than punks running the show pulled as younger men.
this present day generation of combat vets from desert storm on have paid an even extra price that of being recycled combat veterans in a combat zone. most will never see a retirement, and many will be not hireable and homless...thanks of lot to those who hoarde.
yet convicted monopolist such as microsoft never quits getting more tyranical including paying a few dollars to novell means microsoft now owns open source.
patriotism is hypocritical because then some how illegal aliens have more rights and benefits than americans of all colors including whitey who served america placing their lives each day on the line
we are the biggest bunch of patrotic pushing hypocritcal biggots on the face of the earth. our doj placing our border guards in prison is nothing less than treason and crimes against america. our people can fight and die in iraq (halliburton), afghanistan (enron oil pipe line) but our people have to flee the mexico border due to armed insurgent mexican nationals is dissing every american. every american, none left out.

not at all. You shouldn't support the government if they are not doing things that are good for america. patriotism is loving your country, and being critical of politicians that sell their country out. it is a large percent of them that have done just this. The new world order is trying to end national boundaries, and these people have TREMENDOUS POWER. The Council on foreign relations, the trilateral commission, the bilderberg conference, and other Rockefeller-founded organizations are pushing for world government. The North American Union is a product of the new world order. I hope people take the new world order seriously. DO some research for yourself.
Ron Paul is the best candidate for 2008, because he actually believes in the constitution, and his voting record proves this. He is the only candidate for 2008 that didn't vote to go to war with Iraq.

don't confuse patriotism with supporting the government. Often the most patriotic thing you can do is to oppose the government. Dont mistake government for country. Governments can be wicked, countries are just masses of real estate.

Patriotism means supporting our country----not necessarily our government!
When they are doing something wrong it is our duty to call them on it and make them accountable!

Patriotism is supporting you country. Your country and government are very different.

Only when you do it with "Blinders-on" like the majority of nutjob righty's on here.
Patriotism is not the false belief of "American Prowess" that our current Administration tries to propogate. Take the example of how they treat the soldier's at Walter Reed. Better still--look at the attempts to cover it up!! The conservative talking-points agenda to tie any Democratic legislation to some sort of question of patriotism is a joke and deceitfully intentional.
