It seems that there is no excess of patriotism in this sense, as it's always positive. The Merriam-Webster gives this example of use of the term: "You may not agree with him politically, but no one can question his patriotism." The two examples offered by the same source for "nationalism", on the other hand, are: "The war...
  • DNC video: “Government is the only thing that we all belong to”

    Yes, rest assured, Romney and the GOP are already working on ads about this. It’s the GOP that cut the clip and circulated it, in fact. Mitt himself evidently can’t wait to get started: People are going to follow Romney’s lead and seize on the word “belong” but that’s only half the problem.

DO THE READERS A FAVOR. STOP CROSS-POSTING YOUR MESSAGES!

    State drops Christian children's home Will no longer refer kids to facility because of church-attendance policy Posted: April 1, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Because the Tennessee Department of Children's Services disapproves of a successful children's home's practice of taking its child residents to church each week, the state agency will no longer refer children to the care facility. The new government policy seeks to ensure the religious freedom of the children under the state's care in compliance with a federal court order that requires a state contract for all children's care providers. Those who run the Tennessee...
