Patriots...in different ways.

Let me tell you, there's one thing I especially like about America. There are so many, many ways to be a proud American. So many ways to be a patriot. For some, the best way is to wave the flag. And pledge allegiance. And sing the star-spangled banner. For others it's to protest what's happening. The unjust and obscene war in Iraq. The stripping of constitutional rights. The racism. Some of us like to accept America as it is. And others would like to bring about change to make for a better America. Yes, we're all patriots. We just go about it in different ways. --Jim Broede
