I don't remember the 'labeling' incident...I may have stopped reading when it got nasty. But we DO all label, using our own standards and definitions...in starting this thread, you wrote that your are "more patriotic" than most of us.

Just to clarify, several people on the list have said I was more patriotic, so I claimed it. Probably not true, but it feels good to claim it, so I did.




I think we all have different ideas of what it
means to be patriotic, and some (not me) may take offense that you think you are more patriotic than they are just because they show it differently. To some, opposing our leadership with open rebellion could be a very patriotic thing; to others, it's "my country right or wrong".

It was never intended to be an 'in your face' comment, just an explanation as to why I personally am not a fan of the current President, but try to show him respect anyway, just as I did with Bush and Clinton before that.

I think of the old Saturday Night Live
News debates that started out "Jane, you ignorant slut...". Makes me smile.

Point Counterpoint...I loved that!
