RE: Defining Patriotism

It is an awfully long way from this:

Duty and patriotism are concepts that invariably infuriate the left...

To this:

First of all, questioning your country's decision to go to war does not mean that you are unpatriotic!

To this:

Now, why would you make such a statement if you didn't in some way see the anti-war protestors as somehow unpatriotic?

Sorry, I'm not blessed with ESP, so you'll have to articulate the thought process that goes from here to there.

Indeed, some anti-war protestors are very unpatriotic. Cindy Sheehan is one of those. Someone who says, "America is not worth dying for," falls in the category of unpatriotic. No amount of liberal rationalization or victimology can fix that.
