Patriotism

[opebo]

In light of todays holiday, I have produced a poll. 

Please post explanations of your choice, and what patriotism means to you.

Nothing more or less than hate, hubris, and latent violence.  An ugly bout of emotional irrationality (particularly when they nation-state is rather third rate).

This holiday repulses me.

Iraq was well worth it. Saddam was a threat and us allowing him to stay in power would have been dangerous at best. We did the right thing, end of argument. Those who are undermining our war effort and trying to make this war Vietnam 2 are just as bad as members of Al Qaeda.

Yea, an anti-war protest is just as bad as a terrorist attack. 

States, your comments are idiotic at best and somewhat offensive.  I'm not going to sit here and be compared to murderers. 

Then quit undermining my country.

No one is undermining your country, we're just trying to undermine the current regime.  Also what on earth good would it to do 'win' this pointless war?
