NorthTX

Love of your country and fighting to keep it free any way you can.

Simply, it is loving and standing by one's country with pride & being grateful & humbled for the priviledge of living here - not angst, shame, outrage, or constantly proclaiming how it need improvement and making list of it's wrong.

The former IS patriotism; the later, liberalism.

it seems to me a lot of people only realize patriotism when the country is under attack, but when something is done, they don't agree with, even tho it is protecting them, all of a sudden they forget what is being done for them, they complain about the deaths fighting for our safety, interesting, you don't see that much outcry over all th law enforcement people that die trying to protect us here at home on the streets, maybe people would be more patriotic if we just disbanded the military, and all law enforcement , so they wouldn't put their lives in danger , oh wait, then who would their be to protect us , what a quandry, how does one ever handle this quandry , oh wait, we could just quit fighting for our freedoms, and just lay back ,and become enslved , maybe that would do it , well, at any rate, being a patriot, is having faith in our system and supporting it, and if ya can't support democracy, what can ya support !!

Hi, NorthTX!! Just wanted to pop in and say "HI"!!

Hope you have a great 4th of July!

Loving your country and fighting for it, being a proud American. You see someone disgracing our flag you have the courage to tell that person to stop. Thats the problem we have become jellyfish we don't stand up for America, we let people cross our borders and take it away from us slowly.First our language,then our liberty, then our government....
