You know, I was looking around for quotes about patriotism today, and it’s almost impossible to find modern things about patriotism that aren’t salutes to the military.

What’s wrong with our society, when we think that the only patriots should be military patriots?

All of us who care about our nation should consider ourselves patriots.

And there may very well come a time where we are indeed viewed as Patriots. I thump Mark Levin for a couple of little things here and there, but the guy knows Liberty and being a Patriot!

There’s not much we can do about it, but...I just wanted to throw out that technology has been quite the “lure” if you will in helping create some of our social disfunctions and wrong turns.

Being new...I don’t want to pegged a rambler, so I’ll stop there :)

When’s the last time you heard “civic duty” or “civic pride?” I haven’t heard either in ages.

"Let our object be our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country. And, by the blessing of God, may that country itself become a vast and splendid monument, not of oppression and terror, but of wisdom, of peace, and of liberty, upon which the world may gaze with admiration forever." - Daniel Webster
