Let's talk about patriotism
Hmmm in my country the politicians are just a scared bunch that think politics is talking about wether or not to talk about talking about talking about something, anything that mildly reeks at patriotism is sure to get you killed.
Oh gawd, do we have to?Quote:

This is just one of the many reasons neither Labour now the Conservatives can get more than 38% of the vote and the reason immigration is unchecked.
Here's a good one for you. The Home Office has now admitted there may be as many as 500,000 failed asylum seakers still in the UK, which effectively doubles the number of immigrants, up to 900,000.
I voted for true patriots....but truth be told very few of them are; But I didn't want to throw them in with the worthless lying majority.
Politicians on both sides of the aisle play on the strong patriotic feelings of many Americans, and use those feelings to their own advantage.
If I was a politician, I sure would. :shrug:
Double post..
They are only patriotic if they polls indicate that would yield them more votes. The majority of ideas are massaged to fit a marketing brand.
While many use patriotism for politics, many also feel deeply patriotic.
Probably more that use patriotism though.
Besides, what do you consider patriotism? Militant nationalism? Cultural Pride?
Well put, and I concur -- with the questions as well. Most apt.Quote:
