Senator John McCain put out an article today on what it means to be a patriot. His thesis statement was this; a patriot puts "the country first...before anything."
I've had people ask me why I don't consider myself a patriot. There are various reasons, but Senator McCain's statement is the main one. By that definition, I could never be a patriot. I don't see how any Christian could be.
I've got a blog column I'm cooking up along these lines, Kester. Stay tuned for it at www.cooperationcrisis.blogspot.com
In short, though, I agree with you. You've read American Pastoral haven't you? That novel taught me more about how we might allow our feelings about our country constructively evolve than anything else...
