[QUOTE="Jones, post: 235878, member: 4805"] I don't see those two statements as being linked. I'm a patriot, but the only person I love unconditionally is my mother. Love for my country is definitely conditional. For instance, I would not love my country if it was a fascist dictatorship. I do love certain principles, such as individual liberty, freedom of speech, etc, and I'm proud of my country when it represents those things. I'm not so proud when my country locks people up for years with no trial, no lawyer, and no charges. Or when they ship detainees to another country for the express purpose of having them tortured. Being a true patriot requires a little more than waving the flag on cue and loudly proclaiming how much you love your country to anyone who will listen. That's just jingoism. [/QUOTE]
