Why are your disparage patriotism posts just plain stupid.

Let's examine the mind of the author with the reality of a couple of lines.

"Give me the child mind, and I will mold the man." Children are trained in military tactics, the glory of military achievements extolled in the curriculum,
and the youthful minds perverted to suit the government. Further, the youth of the country is appealed to in glaring posters to join the army and navy. "A fine chance to see the world 1" cries the governmental huckster.- Thus innocent boys are morally shanghaied into patriotism, and the military Moloch strides
conquering through the Nation.


The above is just plain crap.

If a child brings a pocket knife to school he is expelled. Where are all the children getting this glory of military achievements extolled in the curriculum

As to innocent boys being shanghaied, well I say they see a lot more selling of sex over all posters to be all you can be.

Now what workers in America has suffered so much at the hands of the soldier. DUUHHHHHHH!!!

Why do post such idiotic drivel???????

If you post it. then you believe it. Since you posted it it's obvious beyond any reasonalbe doubt that you don't know the difference between Americans and folks from other countries and argue based upon what goes on in other places where folks left to come here I'd say you do have misguided understanding of what being an American is.

So where is this anarchist paradise or indeed where has it ever been? It's one thing to trash patriotism as if it did not exist in a wide spectrum (much like religion) without showing us the existing advantage of disorder and lawlessness.

Well I guess you could point to Afghanistan as a close approximation of anarchy.
