Patriotism is something that you feel - a pride in nation and country. We do have a lot to be proud of in this country - and personally I think the democrats have a hell of a lot more to be proud of than the pubs. So do I feel upset when a pub can wrap himself in a flag and brand build from MY country to his sick and twisted political agenda? hell yes.

If I were a pub I'd be terrified by Clark's message - it says Americans aren't going to sit idly by while people wrap themselves in a sacred element of our society for crass political agendas. I'd be terrified that the same thing is going to happen to christianity - and good christian socialists will be MORE CHRISTIAN than the baptist holier than thous... and throw that whole brotherhood of man thing back in their greedy mammon-worshipping faces.

Clark has the potential to represent a turning point - where the middle says NO MORE and the pubs, who have overreached a great deal, are left so far out on a limb that they are finally seen as the crackpot party they are.
