I used to be. But the country I used to love is long gone.
You've contradicted yourself. Patriotism is an act of blind faith. Loving a country whilst it's great and then changing your mind when it's not so great is not patriotism. That at least involves some kind of intelligent judgement, and intelligence plays no part in patriotism.

Sorry for showing signs of intelligence - even though I am not sure many will think I have any.
cuk is for thickies - I thought I was doing very well here.
It would only take one great leader to change my mind. Another Maggie. Someone who will cut red tape and NO UTURNS.
Russians are particularly patriotic when they live abroad... you would not believe how much easier it is to love your country whilst being in a different nicer place.
