True Patriotism:
The Opposite of Jingoism
By Paul Rosenberg, IMC-LA reporter.

True patriotism differs from jingoism the same way that
healthy parental love differs from the sick obsession of parents
who live their broken, frustrated dreams through their children.
Time and again it's been the dissidents
among us, those most likely to be mislabeled
"un-American," who've been the true patriots
and done the most to make America a light unto
the world.
Now is no different, as we seek to articulate
a solution that goes beyond war to
eradicate terrorism at its roots.

I know Paul likes comments, so here's a comment.
Fantastic essay! Send it on up to the Utne or Salon or something.
Someone had to say this. Nice work.
