Hi all,
I have been looking at the definitions of "Patriot" & "Nationalist" and find that many argue about what's what.
Ok, I think that a "Nationalist" is fairly obvious to me - this idea supports the existance of a nation, it's boundaries, it's constitution, historical struggles to get from there to here, the purity of the legal system in accordance with the above ideals and defence of it against invaders.
A "Patriot" is what...? Someone that supports the wisdom of the government no matter what? I received a newsletter from an American group, grassfire I think, which sent out a whole load of pro-Bush stuff over the Michael moore/ election period which was to my eyes, a whole load of blind and mindless obscience to the current government and nothing else. If I recall correctly, these are the ones who also sent out word of the film "FarenHYPE 911", cutting down Moore and boosting Bush.
Anyways, what do you think?
