Ed Brayton knows what Patriotism SHOULD be.
And I couldn't agree more.
Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Patriotism, Conservative and Liberal: "My allegiance is not to a nation and much less to a flag, but to a set of principles. When my country supports those principles, I support my country; when it fails to do so, I do not support it. America can only be great if America is good, if our actions are in line with the ideals we so loudly proclaim. It is a cliche, but it remains true that actions speak far louder than words."
