Patriotism of Morons?

Well, there is the discerning patriotism of the intelligent and the blind patriotism of the morons and those who suffer from "National Insecurity".
The last thing the world and America needs is a swelling in the ranks of the PAMU (Patriotic American moron Union!).
Think of Carl Sagan's remark: "Real patriots ask questions". He meant searching questions about the what one's government actually does (as opposed to what it claims it is doing - a distinction which must be somewhat clear even to the intellectually retarded!).
Now go ask questions about what your government is actually doing!!!!
