On 'The Fisking of E.J. Dionne' And The Left's Delusions Of The Meanings Of Patriotism
Topics: America The BeautifulThe dictionary defines "patriotism" as "Love of and devotion to one's country" (the American Heritage Dictionary) or "love of country and willingness to sacrifice for it" (WordNet). There's no hidden message here, these have precisely the same meaning: "patriotism is an individual's belief that his country is so special that saving it is worth sacrifice." America may not be perfect - but she's the best game around!Now that we're on the topic of patriotism, be sure to catch Jawa Reports fisking of E.J. Dionne's "mournful, tired editorial in today's WaPo entitled, ""A Dissident's Holiday."
It's dedicated to all leftists feeling confused, isolated and frustrated (and likely confused) about their views of America on this 4th of July.
And then we have this: The American Thinker in "Patriotism and Anti-patriotism" - "The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism. Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country... I don't see why people care about patriotism."--Natalie Maines, Dixie Chick (read "Ditsy" Chick) extraordinaire, spilling her guts to the British press in June 2006."
