There is nothing wrong with true patriotism. The right has co-opted the word and turned into a weapon with which to beat us over the head. What Clark is trying to do is to return the word to its true meaning and, in so doing, take way their weapon.


Your problem is not with patriotism, it is with the rights use of the word to shut down dessent. Clark is saying that dessent can be patriotic and you are attacking him for this.
