Patriotism is defending your country against foreign enemies, which include the federal reserve bankers and your own government if it is operating outside its Constitution.

I may have missed the joke here too but if you have more of an interest in patriotism--you should check out the book The True Patriot (www.truepat.org).

Patriotism is about loving your country, not necessarily its government, its decisions or its wars.

he cartoon was making the point that patriosm is nonsensical. To love some random piece oof land just because you were born in it is as stupid as believing that the God made flesh will walk amongst us because it was written in a 2,000-year old book.

Love it, patriotism is about as assanine as being proud you were born with blonde hair or blue eyes.

D, I'm a hardcore liberal and I believe B.J. has the correct definition.
