with the rest of that crowd.
I have an 'acquaintance' who tells me she listens to nothing but NPR and Air Americal. She calls all GOP jingoistic and claims that she, and the rest of the 'RATs (not her term) are proud of being 'quietly patriotic!' I'm sure she got that from AA . . . the phrase is a contradiction of terms. If one is patriotic, he must shout it from the rooftops! They are America Haters, top to bottom.
