Walking on the flag isn’t good for that, either.

The alternative is that they take to heart their 12-16 years or cultural marxist education and lifetime of media exposure and hate this country. Given the choice between “Murica” style patriotism and oikophobia, I’ll take the gaudy trash.

With what has been going on in this Country for the last decade I question my Patriotism constantly. I come from a family full of generational vets on both sides but I have made it clear that I do not want either of my children to serve in the armed services.

These were taken at The Citadel, the night they announced the death of Osama Bin Laden.

My son was there.

A lot of young people today have a very different experience in this country than we have had; I’m in my mid-40s, and remember a great country years ago. To young people (especially those that aren’t “preferred minorities”)it is a much more oppressive, less prosperous place; I understand their lack of patriotism.
