I'm not super-patriotic, but the U.S. is where I live, and it's the passport that I carry.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love my passport. I plan trips very last minute, so I always carry it with me.
The first time I realised I was patriotic was after September 11th.
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.
In my eyes, a patriot is little more than an international blackleg.
But my patriotism goes for something beyond what we have. We don't have something that I want to die for - anymore.
If I had to describe myself, I wouldn't use words like 'hero.' I wouldn't use 'patriot,' and I wouldn't use 'traitor.' I'd say I'm an American and I'm a citizen, just like everyone else.
Patriotism to your country is something that comes from your heart. It should be taught to you by your parents.
Patriotism is easy to understand in America. It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.
I just bought a Jeep painted like an American flag. No one better question how patriotic I am.
I think I'm one of the most patriotic people that I've ever encountered in America. I consider myself a bedrock patriot. I participate very actively in local politics, because my voice might be worthwhile. I participate in a meaningful way - not by donations; I work at it.
