out of context. i did not say once that you need to recite or wave anything to show patriotism, just pride. have a little, don't cast off anybody who has pride in their country as blind nationalism, i'm here for a reason.
just because we don't agree with the government, or support its actions, we can still show respect to the flag, to our nation, our people. our flag stands for more than just the government, it stands for us, and i'll always stand for it.
