Someone needs to explain that the terms "anti-war" and "anti-American/America" are NOT synonyms.

Okay. I'm thinking of moving to Finland. Who's with me? We'll have fun. We'll learn Finnish, we'll dance like caribou, we'll enjoy the long hours of daylight half the year and dim darkness the rest.

What is a patriot, anyway?

I agree with you whole-heartedly. It makes me so mad that anyone who questions what our country is doing is branded as being anti-patriotic. Well, news flash...I question because I love my country and I want what's best for it. It's worse than people who take every word of the Bible at face value and are too lazy or scared to question anything in it, or come up with their own interpretation.

To quote one of the masters:

"We have to be able to criticize what we love
And say what we have to say
And if you're not trying to make something better
Then as far as I can tell,
You are just in the way." -Ani DiFranco
