"Why Do You Have to Be a Patriot?"
you don't, of course, but that's the point. in many countries, you have to "like" the government whether you want to or not. that's not the case here, and people can't stop bellyaching about how our government is awful and we aren't "free" enough. the way we know we are free is that we can complain.
what an ungrateful question, from one of the Dixie Chicks.
why is it, that in the freest country in the world, people ask such stupid questions as this? how can they take what we have for granted? not understand that the very fact we CAN ask such questions and remain free is a right that the majority of the people in the world today and most of those who ever lived do not and have not had?
such ignorance. i don't take our constitution for granted. the very fact we can ask questions such as those is a testament to the freedoms we have and that others do not.
i am a patriot, and proud of it. this does not mean that i support the nra (i don't), that i am a white supremacist (heaven forbid), that i support the return of the confederacy (?), or that i have much respect for president bush. being able to question the way we live is a luxury, and it is patriotic to exercise the generous rights afforded us by our government and constitution and the blood of all those who have died defending what we have.
