Also; “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” Theodore Roosevelt.
I have pride in who we are as Americans. I understand why a preemptive strike on another country is wrong and see where Russia has been meddling in our elections. I know we can do better in this country. I hate Nazis.
I think who I am not – is part of what makes the country great, others can be what I can not be. Pretending Trump won in a landslide, or Obama created Obamacare without the Republican Congress, is simply not true. This is my country right, or wrong, but we can work on the wrongs to make them better. I hate Nazis.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident; that ALL men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with….” That’s ALL – not just British colonials, or Europeans, or WASPs, or nobility, or business suits. It doesn’t even limit to natural-born American citizens. Maybe I can find the word ‘ALL’ in a dictionary and see what that says….
More Marxist propaganda from Jen. Patriotism & Nationalism aren’t mutually exclusive. Patriots take pride in their country — and are against globalists dilute our national values by overwhelming us with other cultures in the name of diversity. Once a society no longer has one dominant culture, then it becomes Balkanized, which results in blood shed and civil wars. We are seeing it happen now in our country.
Patriots do learn from history, and they see that Marxists have seized control of the democrat party and they’re gunning for a civil war. The democrat controlled media (including Jen herself) is pumping out Marxist propaganda.
Patriots don’t disrespect national rituals for phony causes which are a Marxist tactic to divide America.
Claiming Nationalists are often Nazis is an outright lie to push folks away from taking pride in their country. Jen is pushing the agenda of her overlords, which is globalism. Globalism will destroy western cultures if we allow them to do so.

Isaac Asimov once said that nationalism is the biggest problem in the world today.

In the case of our congressional “representatives”, sometimes silence can be deafening.

The difference between Patriotism and Jingoism:
“Patriotism” is an attachment to or a love for a particular country.
“Nationalism” can be the same sort of enthusiasm for a state or country, but it can extend into loyalty to the state.
“Jingoism” is a tendency to justify unfairness and bad behavior with nationalist excuses.

@Wolf: Why even consider yourself better than others? Why not simply be thankful if your life is good?
I know that being better than others is not your point of view, but the comment came out like it was.

Patriotism: love of one’s country. That’s all, that’s it.
“Our country! In her intercourse with foreign nations; may she always be in the right, but our country right or wrong.” – Stephen Decatur
“Our country right or wrong. When right, to be kept right, and if wrong, to be set right.” – Carl Schurz
Amen, Excelsior, and Right On!

As someone said, republicans love America like a four-year-old loves his mommy. She can do no wrong, and if you say she can, he’ll call you names.
