Its sad to say but it would take another horrific event like 9/11 for the people in our country to wake up and get back into the frenzy they did those weeks after the event. How does one show patriotism? Is displaying a flag patriotism? I think a true patriot informs themselves about their country and seeks the truth about why our enemies wish to target us and what role we play in the world.
I don't consider the people who simply do things in a mob mentality to be patriots. A patriot defends his country to the death because its where he rests his head and where he calls his home. A true patriot should always be, not just when its the popular thing to do.
We need people like OAS to remind us what we take for granted.
