Question

Do you, like me, also struggle to settle on a definition and example of patriotism?

Answer 1

No I see it every day, it is fairly obvious

Answer 2

No, I was raised by two people who knew and understood the old values. Honor, Patriotism, being a Gentleman, what a dollar is worth, and what your word was good for, are fundamental values that were well defined growing up. They were lived by my mom and dad so I had no trouble learning them.

Answer 3

Always seek the truth and tell it. Well if a girlfriend asks you what you think of her new hat and you really hate it its OK to fudge a little bit.  Good Luck  Bob

Answer 4

I'm a vet, so no.

Answer 5

The liberal media would love to have us all struggle with it's definition, so then they can define it for us! Seems like we have allowed the liberal left RE-define many things for us today!  So, no I don't struggle with it's definition at all!  I see it in pictures of proud soldiers going to and coming from foreign lands  for freedom and liberty!  I see examples of fine civil servants going to work everyday to enforce the laws of this great land!   I saw it yesterday as I drove the the streets  of my great area of the country..many proudly having the red, white and blue decorating their lawns for this holiday!  I see proud patriotism in the classrooms  when our youngsters recite the pledge of allegiance with their hands over their hearts! It's not hard to see it or define it!

Answer 6

Nope. I think it's easy to define. Love your country for what it stands for as it was founded, not hate it for what it is supposed to be and want to change it to be like a different country.

Now I have a question....are you Obama?

Answer 7

No, the dictionary is pretty clear on it's definition of patriotism.

Answer 8

All the time.

The media and government constantly twist it up to suit their needs.  It's disgusting.

When individuals speak-out about things they think are unjust, they are told to leave if they are unhappy and called unpatriotic.

Patriots speak-out agains injustices and try to remedy them, not jump ship.
