in harms way because I choose to believe the same people that lied us into this war above the rest of the world including other voices in the pentagon?

What on earth is a true AMERICAN PATRIOT ???
We all know that a true GERMAN PATRIOT in WW11 was any German who fully supported their government's actions and policies from warring to genociding .
Their mantra like American's was/is MY COUNTRY RIGHT OR WRONG.It is a place where morals and ethics go to DIE .
Bush has waged an ILLEGAL war of CHOICE based upon a pack of filthy lies that has resulted so far in the SLAUGHTER of over 400,000 INNOCENT Iraqi civilians,and turned a TERRORIST FREE country into a TERRORIST HAVEN/MAGNET .
This is truly something HITLER would have done !!!!
You obviously have forgotten the old adage : "FOOL ME ONCE ,SHAME ON YOU; SHAME ME TWICE,SHAME ON ME "
Never mind,many Germans also kept following Hitler after they realized that he had lied to them.
Perhaps you and your extremely dangerous concept of PATRIOTISM is best represented by the famous Samuel Johnson citation :
"THE LAST REFUGE OF A SCOUNDREL IS PATRIOTISM "

It just makes you want to cry. But, let's face it. The true American patriot is an endangered species. Somehow, patriotism got all twisted around to mean 'compliance'. As long as we follow the lead of our president, we are true patriots.
My real concern is that the media has ceased to be an outlet of dissent, and is now part of the propaganda machine. When 9-11 happened, the media SHOULD have been asking hard questions. But...they were Bush's cheerleaders. Patriotism has NO place in an unbiased newspaper or news show. It only skews the facts. If I want patriotism, I'll fly a flag and sing Lee Greenwood. I don't need the press to tell me how to be patriotic.....

No of course not. You also need an American flag attached to your ridiculously large vehicle preferably a Hummer. Driving a Hummer with multiple stickers supporting our troops and a flag is the ONLY way to prove you are an American patriot. After all they hate us for our freedom's you know. One of those freedoms being free to choose a ridiculously large car that if you are in an accident will cause chaos and destruction to the other cars you hit as you speed along listening to Rush, sipping a latte and yelling at your stock broker while chewing little Suzie out for not being the star in the 3rd grade school play.

you're crammed with ****. My lady chum and that i traveled interior the direction of the South jointly, she is black, i'm white and have been taken care of greater powerful down there than we get taken care of in California. The South has replaced plenty. that's unlike that anymore. The west coast has neo nazi's on an identical time as the South has the KKK. the sole distinction between Neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan is one wears sheets and pointy hats. issues have replaced dramatically by way of the years.

You're right, Hillary is no patriot, she's told way too many lies. Also, the ignorant people that want to cut and run out of Iraq are also turning against our proud and able troops. These people ignore what the boots on the ground say, and make up ridiculous stories about our brave and noble soldiers.

I feel a patriot that supports this war HAS to hold our leaders responsible for unjust cause.
peace

Nope. I true American Patriot uses his rights to contact his congressmen and ask them to follow the constitution. Yellow ribbons are nice but working to end the un-constitutional conflict we are currently involved in is much better.

No, you would be waving 7 of America's version of the Nazi flag. They serve the same jingoistic purpose.

I think one must be an American before one can be an American patriot.
Our patriots are fighting the war and I support them.
