I'm not really. I'm more pro-president.
Take Obama for instance. I hated just about everything he did, but I wouldn't say anything against him while he was in office.
If a country won't stand behind it's leader, while they are in office, then you have problems.
/e Maybe it was the 7 years I spent in the military, I dunno. But I'm patriotic or at least I try to be.
Go... 'murica!
The problems exist whether you choose to uncritically support the government or not.
Giving presidents a free pass on terrible policies and actions is not a solution.
"Why is patriotism thought to be blind loyalty to the government and the politicians who run it, rather than loyalty to the principles of liberty and support for the people? Real patriotism is a willingness to challenge the government when it’s wrong." - Ron Paul
