I agree with all you say. The question I ask is; do those guys on Fox believe that they represent the American ideal? Do they not see their puffed up arrogance and what it portrays? For me; Patriotism contains a 'core' of pride that empowers one to stand strong and firm in belief and committment and is immersed in humility. Nelson Mandela is a true Patriot. Hi Graham,
