That?s very sad to me (Yes, I?m young LoL) as my eyes are now thoroughly being opened to the true actions of my government. My America is being destroyed by the very principles it was built on.

(Note: Grayson ? this is not a direct shot at you, many of my European friends discuss American politics frequently.) Too many people thinking too many different thoughts with the same force does not make for a happy country. In this sense, I again agree with Grayson that sometimes it is best to bow out and bite your tongue. However, I believe that also comes with the level of fear provoked by whomever topped with how sore your tongue is. When you?ve reached your limit, you shout. So what happens when thousands of people reach their limit and, as they have been conditioned to, choose another path? No one wants to feel they must actually leave their country.

I think patriotism is the idea that you are simply proud to be where you are from. I think the American people feel their patriotism is under attack because we are not necessarily proud of where we?re from anymore due to the people representing us. We would like to be ? the desire is there. I don?t know any Americans who think we should take over another country for whatever reason. However, we don?t get that choice. We barely get the choice of who is to make those decisions. We?re supposed to be able to, they say anyway. This seems to be only one limitation of our freedom.
