Booman Tribune: Defining Patriotism

Let's see in these difficult economic times, a citizen will consider voting against her best economic interests because of a flag pin?

Is is patriotic to vote for invading a country for no real reason?
Is it patriotic not to provide care for those soldiers who failed to die from their injuries?
Is it patriotic to vote for No Child Left behind?
Is it patriotic to vote for NAFTA?
Is is patriotic to vote for someone who has historically failed to work well with others?

Wrap yourself in a flag and watch our educational system fail to produce graduates who can compete globally.

Wrap yourself in a flag and watch our jobs disappear.

Wrap yourself in a flag and watch prices soar because the oil industry has successfully blocked or derailed alternative fuel sources.
Wrap yourself in a fucking flag as you pray that the bridge your are crossing doesn't collapse....

I need fresh air.....
