How do you Define Patriotism?

This is nonsense. The facts are that: 1) you wouldn't know a leftist patriot if he smacked you on the side of your head, and 2: Ted King gave you three examples in which the US was a party to the conflict immediately after your post. As the Firesign Theater (a famous group of those "leftists") once said, "Everything you know is wrong".
OK, so at least we have established the following. It is OK to invade a sovereign country, depose their leaders and stay there indefinitely(Afghanistan). Bomb another one for 77 days to settle a civil war and get involved in clan warfare in Africa. I take it supporting these actions are a sign of patriotism.
