The problem that some on this board have with Jacob's use of the term "patriot" is that they are disposed to use as a positive attribute, while he uses it as a way of describing anyone who claims to be motivated to support their country. Not to belabor the obvious, but that is the problem that some people have with patriotism, that it can be and has been used to motivated people to some pretty terrible actions.

Well said, Sam.
