I'm so disgusted that these people have the gall to call themselves patriots.

    They've redefined the term patriot in my head to mean "racist traitor"

    Yeah, even living in the US I'd say I am patriotic in that I want the best future we can manage for this fucked up place.

    I love my wife and my child even more, but that doesn't mean I pretend they are without flaw and always correct. I would be remiss in my relationships and commitments if I did that, actually.

    But I don't think I'll ever think or say "I am a patriot" because of exactly what you say. It sucks when awful people ruin innocent terms.
