I think a lot of the people that you would call unpatriotic are on the front lines of the war, or working hard for the country in many other ways. Now how do you explain that?
I don't think you see them that way because they're not as motivated as you are on particular issues that are important to you, like the "erosion of freedoms" issues.
Just keep in mind that your view of a patriot might be way too narrow. In the broadest sense, every loyal American that would never help an enemy of America, is a patriot. When they aren't as sensitive as you are to about certain issues, you seem to turn on these fellow patriots and see them as your enemy.
I think you should all re-think these kinds of basic thought patterns. We need all hands on deck RIGHT NOW, and it's going to very likely get worse. Re-think your disagreements with the government. Get rid of that cloud hanging over your heads all the time. Be happy for awhile about the positives. Take a fresh look in a month or two and you might enjoy a much better outlook on your country. Ya' know, it's not such a bad place to hang your hat.
I have no doubt that there are many Americans who think they are being patriotic, but that's only due to their complete ignorance of the Constitution. Heck, most Americans could not even tell you what is in the Bill of Rights, and have probably NEVER even read the Constitution in their entire life.
Ignorance, however, is just what the US Government is counting on, and they have that in spades!
