[ihavenobias]

Nick Hanauer (co-author of The True Patriot) joins TYT to discuss his book and how being liberal has always been patriotic.

Here is a link to the book: http://www.amazon.com/True-Patriot-Eric-Nick-Hanauer/dp/1604612193

Governor Howard Dean
The True Patriot makes a powerful argument that our heritage as a great nation is a progressive heritage, and it shows what each one of us can do to heal America and regain our position of moral leadership at home and abroad.

Andy Stern, President, Service Employees International Union and author, A Country That Works
A must read for progressives and conservatives alike. Eric Liu and Nick Hanauer return the definition of patriotism to the founders ideal and challenge all of us to put aside meaningless partisanship and rise up through sacrifice and innovation to face the practical realities of the 21st century.

PS---You can always watch TYT Live from 3-5 pm ET, with a Rolling Post Game 5-7 pm daily Monday-Friday at www.theyoungturks.com The RPG often contains political talk but also many non-political topics to lighten things up (and yes, that audio may not necessarily be work-safe).

Also, if you can't watch live, the 3-5pm portion of the show (politics) streams the rest of the day, all day right after the Post Game Show ends leading up to the initial show at 3pm.

1. Good interview! Republicans do not have a monopoly on patriotism

A lot of them are not really even patriotic, they just pretend to be.

2. I completely agree. The idea that Republicans are somehow more patriotic is just absurd.

I need to get a copy of that book...
