What makes us strong is also what makes us weak. I wish people weren't so darn worried about being offensive. There is a difference between expressing your patriotism in a reasonable manner and being threatening or obnoxious to someone of a different persuasion. In other words, people should not be constrained to silence about their own beliefs because it will offend someone else. The "someone elses", whoever they are, have a right to their own beliefs and to express them. Silencing the values upon which this country was founded in the name of "multiculturalism" is a crime, IMO, and the beginning of the inevitable end.
