[QUOTE="Jones, post: 328032, member: 4805"] I notice that all those definitions refer to "country", not "government" or "current administration" or "the president". All those terms are not synonymous. You can disagree (strongly even) with a lot of things that your current government is doing and still love your country. All the latest polls show that a majority of the american people think the Iraq war was a mistake, that President Bush is doing a terrible job, and that the country is on the wrong track. I would be willing to bet that most of those people still love their country. In reading the above, I get the impression that you think supporting George Bush is the same as supporting your country (correct me if I'm wrong). Where has anybody said this? I don't agree with everything D says, but I've never heard him or anybody else on this board say that America is a horrible place. I think America is the greatest country to live in for most Americans simply because we were born here and it's "our" country. Most of the people in living in the western democracies feel the same way about their countries for the same reason. I don't think it's really possible to be objective about a question like that, because for most people, their country is the only one they've ever lived in. I like it here, I'm not going anywhere :happy2: [/QUOTE]
