Cheap patriotism is good. Dear patriotism is good. Moderately expensive patriotism is good.

It's all good!

If putting "Freedom Fries" on the menu reminds people that the French are a bunch of lying, backstabbing weasles, then why not? It's "cheap" to do so, after all.

I totally agree! The idea is to put a dent in their pocketbook. A local, and very pricey, restaurant has recently insisted upon selling only domestic wines.

My husband and I have never felt able to afford to go to Jack Ruby's, but we're going now! And we don't typically order wine, but we will do so with pride. Patriotism demands sacrifice and I'll choke down every bit of that dry-aged steak even if it kills me :)
