Sorry, just reading quickly and making a fast reply in between planes:
When I said "to be a patriot, you have to agree with me", I was joking - indicating that patrotism has a much broader meaning than what has been tossed around the politisphere lately. You'd have to have read it that way to have it make sense in the context of the post in which it resided. As I said, Kerry was being a patriot when he was in his anti-war mode in the seventies, in my mind. A patriot does what he or she thinks best serves their country. We can all disagree on what that it, but that only defines how YOU serve YOUR OWN patriotism.
I need to use more smileys.
