To use honestly the term patriot in that civil war one would say 'rebel patriot' and 'loyalist patriot', quite equally ... to attempt to corner the term for one side is to rob the quality of patriotism from the other, it is dishonest, sleazy, a furtherance of the thievery
Same with 'american', to take the term for your exclusive use is to deny the rest of us on these continents our americanidad, while any schoolchild's atlas will show you up as liar
To the use of those two terms you have been brainwashed from your birth, and so have that excuse ... however in your second paragraph here you misrepresent what i said in two distinct ways, in a single sentence ... that is your own dishonesty manifesting itself, whether it stems from nature or nurture who is to say, but it appears yours personally .... so it is not greatly surprising to see such a personality promoting the neocon thuggery in international affairs, it is not greatly instilling of hope for one's species either though, and so i commented on it ... but what is the point, it's like talking to a stump |
