Patriotism is easy to understand in America. It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Patriotism to your country is something that comes from your heart. It should be taught to you by your parents.
For me, the definition of a patriot is someone who is willing to constantly question the government; that's what separates us from other countries.
Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief. A patriot shows their their patriotism through their actions, by their choice.
Patriotism is a love of country. If you love your country, you should love your countrymen and women. It doesn't mean you always agree with them or even like them. It is understanding that we have interwoven destiny.
Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.
Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.
I don't think a lot of people are able to relate to genuine patriotism, a genuinely good feeling about our country and its meaning to the rest of the world.
Patriotism is the secret resource of a successful society.
I believe patriotism comes from the heart. Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief.
Patriotism in America, as I understand it, is a matter of suffering, when the country fails to live up to its promises, or actively betrays them.
