Americans vs Others.
We should frame the debate that way.

Who is a patriot? We are a nation of peoples that fled war, famine, disease; oppression, tyranny. We are those who are looking for an opportunity to express free will. We are not a racist society; we are the epitome of it.

Luminari: I will disagree with your statement just because I am an American first, a Cherokee second and we are not the epitome of a racist country, we are an example of a country that isn't...

Luminari: As for who is a patriot? I am.
I swore an oath once to protect this country from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
I wrote a blank check for my life to fulfill that.
I didn't walk out of that oath when I left the service.
I'm not going to go batshit crazy and start mowing down people anywhere. HOWEVER.
When it comes time to DEFEND my country, I am right here with the same check in hand.
Or as my uncle says when asked how he lost his arm in Viet Nam, he replies...
"I didn't LOSE an arm. I GAVE one."
Happy Independence Day.

Epitome of this society as NOT RACIST was my descriptive intent. Patriotism seems a term relegated to a moldy dusty attic. When did *pride* in ones Country become heretical thought? Hugs to your Uncle.
