One thing that is very unpatriotic is outing a CIA spy for political reasons. Someone should have a cell reserved next to Jonathon Pollard.

Cool

Huh, you want to know what really displays "patriotism" then go to my mother's house and see the small white flag withn a gold star on it hanging in a window or to her bedroom and see the triangular mahogany box with a neatly folded flag in it and her sons picture next to it. It was the flag that draped his coffin at 19.

That is F*cking patriotism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why even try.........

That little gold star chokes me up every time I see one. Patriotism and sacrifice of the highest order, Steve. My Grandmother had one on her mantel, along side a photo of a very young bomber pilot.... those gold stars....

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
