No need to feel sorry for me. I remember Joe McCarthy and he was
no friend of patriotism.

Actually, it's none of your business. Patriotism isn't about service.
It's
about believing and supporting the US Constitution and the values
that it espouses. Just because one does or doesn't serve in the military
isn't good enough to be patriotic. Just because one serves the
community,
isn't enough to be considered patriotic. It's easy to claim that... "I
was
in the military, therefore, I'm patriotic." That's a load of crap.

Calling someone unamerican is most definitely not patriotic, as it goes
against everything that we hold as values.

I don't have to prove my patriotism, and I don't ask anyone else to
either.

If you truly believe the above, Jon, I feel genuinely sorry for you.
You've
lived here all you life (I'm assuming) and are clueless as to what
constitutes patriotism. I'd suggest a redux of basic American history,
with
emphasis on such names as Patrick Henry, George Washington, and such.
