Well I will just say this. Being a patriot is not constrained to one particular view point. If a liberal truly believes that what they are doing is for the best interest of the nation, out of a desire to improve the nation...then they are a patriot. Michael Moore probably believes he is a patriot in some way, same with Jane Fonda or Tim Robbins.

You essentially have a couple of major camps that are pushing what they believe is best for our nation. There are good arguments coming out of both camps.

Regardless of how we feel about a persons political stance, if they are doing what they do out of a genuine love of their country and truly believe it is for the best...then they are a patriot. It matters not that I disagree with them. All this means is that we both have different ideas about what is best for our nation.

I am sure I am going to get called down on this...but it's just my take on it.
Good one, Jeff.

You hit one out of the park here.

Maybe I was a little too quick to judge you on the other thread.

I apologize.
