Patriotism=Making your country. Loving it so much you are wiling to die for it, even if this death comes at the hands of some one whom your counrtyman have "chosen" to lead.
Nationalism=Waving a flag around like a moron, or a coward, just so you won't seem unpatriotic.
The most patriotic thing ever was the Declaration of Independence. It never mentioned God. Nor does the constitution. "So help me god" which is usually said after after the president is sworn in is not an offical part of the constitution.
If you didn't own an American flag before september 11, and/or identifyed with your state more than your country, you are not a patriot. I love Virginia and all, think it is cool, love our motto, but the USA will always be number one in my heart. Maybe I should write this in my journal not greek chat?
