I certainly hope you're not inferring that the rest of us aren't.

A bit touchy, are we? I didn't get that impression from the post.

I'm not touchy about it at all; I have no doubt about my own patriotism, nor about most of the feelings on the people on this forum.

But I'm sure you know that there are those who like to segregate themselves from the rest of us by using code words like "true patriot" and "true conservative" or "real conservative" or "principled." Meaning, of course, that they're better than the rest of us.
