Are you a patriot?

[Martin68]

6. The word "patriot" is a very loaded term. It always has been (listen to the song "The Patriot Game")

I "love" my country, but that absolutely doesn't mean I believe my country is always right. In fact, as a liberal and a progressive, I believe if you love your country you will ceaselessly strive to make it better. And it's a job that is never finished because day by day we learn more and become more aware of how to better achieve the goals listed in the preamble of the Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." (I took out the "Creator part," because I don't think that is a necessary component)
