One thing that bugs me with having political arguements with conservatives is, when you say something that does not agree with what they believe about what the goverment is doing, they label you as "unpatriotic". Disagree with the war? Your not a patriot! Not impressed with the bush administation? You are not a patriot!
But i ask you, when did conservatives patent patriotism? What is your definition of patriotism? There is a big difference between loyalty to your country and loyalty to your goverment. I'm loyal to what this country is supposed to stand for, not who runs it. I am loyal to what the united states was formed under, liberty and freedom.
Why does one praise a flag? In the end, its really just a strip of decorated cloth, but if thats it, why don't we praise tablecloths to? Because tablecloths don't stand for anything, but flags do. The american flag doesn't stand for the goverment, it stands for freedom and liberty. If a goverment has and issue with freedom and liberty, its the one being unpatriotic.
If so, doesn't that mean supporters various bush administration supported laws that violate our freedom and privacy, such as phone tapping, are traitors? That would make alot of conservatives traitors, not patriots.
Heres to you fundamentalist conservatives, who wear patriot costumes while stabbing your country in the back.
