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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's intense national feeling in America that could be called patriotism.
Patriotism is easy to understand in America. It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.
Patriotism to your country is something that comes from your heart. It should be taught to you by your parents.
Patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst of emotion but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.
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 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.
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.
Politics is too partisan, and sometimes patriotism is cast aside. Patriotism is honor and love of your country and your brothers and sisters. With politics I get the impression that it's all about what's good for the party and not necessarily what's good for the country.
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.
