Patriotism is one thing to one person and something completely different to another. And, it can mean different things to the same person. Many people on both sides of the aisle, but mostly on the right today are situational patriots. I'd just like some old fashioned respect. I think I need to check myself on that issue from time to time. And, I know that a whole lot of people speaking publicly today appear to need to do so, also. Respecting others begins with yourself.
