Patriotism, Again

“Words are not enough, Joe, remembering to say "I love you" every ten days doesn’t cut it. If you really loved me, you would take out the trash without my pestering you, you’d clean up after dinner, you’d help me make the beds, you’d mow the lawns and occasionally do the shopping for our dinner table. You would DO things that showed you love me, that made my life more pleasant, easier. And you would buy me flowers for no reason at all other than you were thinking about me and how much I mean to you.” You know the drill, men, words are not enough, real love is demonstrated with actions.

Patriotism means nothing more or less than love of country. But here, again, love means more than mere words, love means actions. Chanting “USA! USA!” and “We’re # 1” at every group opportunity is mere words, it doesn’t cut it. Real patriotism demands actions that prove your love of country.

See my “old” post on Patriotism and let me know what you think!
