112. When Bush invokes "patriotism" he means do what I say and like it
Clark speaks to the better angels of our natures when talking about patriotism but also says that hearty and reasoned discussion and dissent are ESSENTIAL to patriotism.

Bush would be Pol Pot were it not for the media (mostly skewed to him and yet not enough for his liking). He was born to lead a small powerless and violent country and that is what we will have here if he is allowed to keep going.

For Bush, patriotism = waving a flag, putting a bumper sticker on your SUV that says "love it or leave it" following Brittney Spears advice on trusting the pResident.

Clark promotes community service, reasoned dialoge and dissent as an excellent base for patriotism. What part of that is so evil?
