| Quotable: Defending Patriotism | | 2008-08-19 10:15:33 | | "One of the things that we have to change in this country is the idea that people can't disagree without challenging each other's character and patriotism. I have never suggested that Senator McCain picks his positions on national security based on politics or personal ambition. I have not suggested it because I believe that he genuinely wants to serve America's national interest. Now, it's time for him to acknowledge that I want to do the same."--Barack Obama, responded to attacks on his patriotism from rival John McCain, in a speech today before the VFW Convention in Florida.

| Canadian Patriotism Linked with Anti-Americanism | | 2008-07-22 07:49:09 | | This is what Canadian Patriotism is for the Anti-American Canadian (found here).
Well, I ran across this article on the same page that discussed the myths of patriotism in both Canada and America. What some of us believe patriotism to be not only differs from country to country, but what we believe it to be (contrary [...] | | By: Waging a War on Anti-Americanism | | |

| Patriotism | | 2008-07-22 01:03:00 | | The desh ki dhadkan campaigns have actually sold patriotism to an entire generation of Indian bikersOur successful products like the CD Deluxe, Splendor and Passion describe the mood of the nation. Their branding is all about India’s high economic growth and the ample opportunities available here. Today you do not have to leave the country for work. We have done brand building on all fronts and that includes not only corporate branding but product branding as well. Additionally we continue to refresh our products and offer the latest technology to Indian customers. India is virtually a Hero Honda country and Hrithik Roshan conveys that empathetically through our recent ‘Hero Honda country’ ad campaign. Hero Honda’s emotional values are conveyed through key words such as bharosa, josh and vishwas. Truly patriotic!

| American Patriotism and Liberalism *UPDATED* | | 2008-06-13 21:32:19 | | I have decided today that your average moderate liberal American is the same as your average conservative living in Canada or Europe.
I have found that other countries who (the Anti-Americans) called themselves, “liberals” are really not, “liberals”. They are really leftist elitists (aka moonbats) who pretend to “care” about “the world”, “the people”, “the poor”, [...] | | By: Waging a War on Anti-Americanism | | |

| I desire an end of Patriotism | | 2008-03-25 03:02:47 | | Rev. Jeremiah Wright | Salon We are now five years into a war that may outrank Vietnam as the most pointless and disastrous one in our history. George W. Bush and his neoconservative brain trust conceived that war, but they were only able to push it through because the American people, their political leaders and the mainstream media signed off on it. And they did so because they were in the grip of the fearful, vengeful, patriotic frenzy that swept the nation after 9/11. Without 9/11 and America's fateful reaction to it, there would be no Iraq war. Every day that the war drags on is yet another indictment of that self-righteous, unthinking "patriotism."I remember the dark days after 9/11, when it was proclaimed that by refusing to be patriotic, by refusing to smile and be friendly to your neighbors, or by refusing to go out and buy a new car, you were allowing the enemies of America to claim victory. I remember having to be very careful at my job, which was a customer service type j | | By: Markism Explored | | |

| How Dare You Question the Obamas' Patriotism!!!!!!! | | 2008-02-21 18:19:38 | | The video is out there and it is hard to avoid. Michelle Obama has never been proud of her country before. . . until now. Until her and her husband have received fawning media coverage in their presidential run. I do not doubt for second that Barack believes exactly what his wife waxed so poetically this week. They are not proud of America and never have been. They are proud of...

| July 4th: Patriotism for Sale | | 2007-07-05 22:52:00 | | Yesterday many Americans celebrated the holiday known as July 4th which is probably more aptly titled Independence Day. The bastardization of the actual holiday isn’t limited to its common name but the actual meaning behind the holiday has been lost. I resisted commenting on the state of American patriotism yesterday mainly out of respect for the holiday and because while the reaction to the holiday is distasteful it is also 1% patriotic. On any given 4th of July you could approach any American and ask them what the holiday stands for and their simple and concise answer would be: Independence Day. But do most Americans realize what Independence Day truly stood for in the past? The day marks the most radical of ideas and one of the most influential documents that has ever been written was signed into law on July 4th, 1776. The Declaration of Independence, at the time, was an effort of at creating a new and pure government built on the ideas of individual freedoms and liberties t | | By: Motiveless Crime | | |
