You're entitled to your opinion, but don't forget that it's not just "your" country, and that some of us may have a very different vision than you of what things like "freedom" and "patriotism" mean. And that doesn't mean we care about 'em any less than you do, either.

In fact, "Assuming there's only one way (aka, your way)"... isn't that more like what "living in the middle east" is all about?

Did Morgan Hill fly the American Flag on the 5th? If not, why didn't they fly the Mexican Flag if they want to show some other allegance?

I wear the colors of the USA ALL THE TIME AND PROUD OF IT.

You wear red white and blue every day?

So you're also wearing England and France's colors too. How dare you! You don't even speak/write/spell properly--learn the language dude! You can't even spell your own name (Wold? Do you mean World?)

Ummm! "Wold" means a tract of open rolling country (especially upland) or hilly countryside.

Well isn't that "special"....so what what do you want, a "pat on the back" just 'cuz you care about your country (unlike the rest of us "commie-pinko-elitists" who might have our own ideas re: "patriotism", especially of the type that has to be "worn on their sleeve")?!

Since you haven't died on the battlefield of Iraq yet, I seriously question your patriotism.

Geez, i'm not the patriotic "type" (at all ... you know, one love, one world and hunterwold would probably like to take a shot at me) but i didn't realize one had to die in combat to be a patriot!

I am and I didn't realize it either. My bad. Fought a war back in the 60s and had the poor taste to survive it. Guess that makes my patriotism suspect, huh?
