[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 932334, member: 13254"] It's simple to me, when you make statements such as you did, you lump all people that feel patriotic in to one lump and then slam them. For that reason I usually refrain form calling my self a patriot or patriotic. That does not mean I am proud of all the events that have happened in history of the US, actually there are some that were nothing but awful and you mentioned a few of them. I am willing to look at the ugly that has been committed, but I also do not jump at the first offer that is contrary to the history as we have been taught. Blind? Hardly. I won't comment individually on the examples you offered but will say that I am willing to consider that you may be a little over the top as well. I freely admit to being, basically, a conservative and make no apologies for that belief. That doesn't mean that I support everyone that proclaims to be a conservative. There have been many things done in the name of conservatism that are IMO, wrong and not in the best interest of our country. Is it you claim that all conservatives are reactionaries? I'm not sure what you mean by "reactionaries". [/QUOTE]
