this country into the ground as has been done in the past 8 years? That's patriotism to steal the wealth of America? Who cares about a pin? Give me a responsible govt. To become a third world nation, we are there already! This is definitely not the same country as in the 1990s. From Iraq to Katrina, to a major financial overload and thievery. We are there. Now how to get out? A flag pin is not going to do a darn thing!

Patriotism
you to accept and submit to our new president. All those hopeful abolitionists, succesionists, socialites and document questioners are directly UNDERMINING our country by spreading unrest and false stories when we need to gather together to work together. A simple piece of paper regarding a birth place is not relevent now that we have elected a great leader. Nothing can change our destiny, so Bind together. Weave together. Read together.
patriotism
Golly, it sounds like you are salivating at the thought that our president-elect will disappoint people. I remember his opponent, who he trounced soundly, always claimed that people should put their country first . . . not to look forward to being able to say "I told you so" to suffering fellow Americans.

This is a good one. I don't hardly have any points!!!
Doesn't look patriotism got us too far
these past 8 years. That's my point. Conform? You will never get me to conform, I am a true patriot. Did Patrick Henry conform when he said, "Give me liberty or give me death?" No, he died being a patriot. You know nothing of patriotism. There has been no patriotism since Bush got in office. It's cronyism that's got us here, not patriotism.
So, your so-called patriotism has led you to believe
that torture is okay? Is that what 9/11 has done to America? To become something akin to a bunch of sadistic terrorists? Same thing. Torture is NEVER an answer. This country has gone through MUCH WORSE and has NEVER tortured. To me, it is so sad that the topic is even being discussed. Seems to me that AL Queda has got done what it wanted, to destroy America from the inside-out. Makes me sick to see how far we've gone already.
My patriotism stops at the freeloaders

Sorry, but I see true patriotism being smothered

We have just left a dictatorship. As for patriotism,
when W was in the WH, everyone who disagreed with him was labelled as NOT patriotic, FYI. How quickly one forgets.
We showed plenty of patriotism..(sm)
last Nov 4. Now THAT was a grass roots movement. Maybe you guys just didn't have the right kind of leadership for this thing. Maybe next time you should look into getting a community organizer.....
Is it okay to show your patriotism at the office?
For one Arlington woman, the answer was "no" after she hung an American flag in her office just before the Memorial Day weekend.
Debbie McLucas is one of four hospital supervisors at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield. Last week, she hung a three-by-five foot American flag in the office she shares with the other supervisors.
When McLucas came to work Friday, her boss told her another supervisor had found her flag offensive. "I was just totally speechless. I was like, 'You're kidding me,'" McLucas said.
McLucas' husband and sons are former military men. Her daughter is currently serving in Iraq as a combat medic.
Stifling a cry, McLucas said, "I just wonder if all those young men and women over there are really doing this for nothing."
McLucas said the supervisor who complained has been in the United States for 14 years and is formerly from Africa. McLucas said the supervisor took down Debbie's flag herself.
"The flag and the pole had been placed on the floor," McLucas said. But McLucas also said hospital higher ups had told her some patients' families and visitors had also complained.
"I was told it wouldn't matter if it was only one person," she said. "It would have to come down."
McLucas said hospital bosses told her as far as patriotism was concerned, the flag flying outside the hospital building would have to suffice.
Kindred Hospital Corporate Headquarters are located in Kentucky. They have yet to make a final decision on the matter. They have not returned our phone calls for comment.
The Kindred Hospital Corporation was chosen as Fortune's most admired for 2009. McLucas hopes they'll back her patriotism.
"I find it very frightening because if I can't display my flag, what other freedoms will I lose before all is said and done," McLucas asked.
Dems trashed constantly over patriotism. So much for

intelligent, true patriotism, positive
not talking about the Chris Mathews of MSNBC. Not the one that gets a shiver up his leg for Obama? He is nothing but an Obama, DNC butt-kissing, too far lefty for any hope and I shudder of the thought of him having anything to do with this country's government. All he knows how to do is report one side of any issue and get a shiver up his leg for doing it.
You wouldn't know patriotism if it gave you a freebie!

They're too lazy to show patriotism......they're waiting
