For me - I think of Luara Secord who walked miles and miles to warn the British of overheard invasion plans asking for General Fitzgiven when she got there
She warned of the plans and British forces , forced the surrender of the would be American invaders to Canada
That is what I think of -
What about you?

I think of General Brock and McDonald who led the charge on Queenstown Heights. Stopping American aggression can be seen as a good thing. I think of Cicero who stood up to Julius Caeser as well as Marc Anthony and Octavian.
Abraham Lincoln qualifies as a patriot.

Someone who is willing to put themselves out there to defend their country. Whether it be from outside enemies or enemies within. The government SHOULD be questioned, but it's citizens actions should be questioned as well...some of it is outright treason.

I think of our President. He stands up and defends America, doesn't care about "popular opinion". Our guys and gals in uniform that VOLUNTEER to protect and serve our country. I think about Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Reagan, Glenn Beck and slews of others getting the message and truth out. I think of myself and my family and all the other great Conservatives here on Yahoo Answers.
