But do you think the public understands the difference between patriotism and citizenship?

Hmmm.  Maybe I don't.  Is the insinuation that patriotism is bad citizenship?
              How would you answer that, Rooster?

We're not going around to homes, putting guns on people, making them watch Fox News.

Of course not.  That would be CPB.  They have the IRS put a gun to people's heads to
get money to run their networks whether anyone wants uses them or not.

Well, I think I know what the interviewers mean. I think they mean the recent left-wing mantra that you show your love of country by criticizing it. They see "patriotism" as a form of ignorant fanatacism. To them it is moronic, "emotional", flag waving. Indeed, I am not sure they understand the difference between citizenship and patriotism. Do they get goose bumps when the National Anthem is played? Does the American flag stir their hearts? Do they feel a sense of kinship to the great American patriots from the Revolution? To they see America as a special nation? Does liberty have any special meaning to them?

Of course not. They are communist filth.
