Patriotism
is love for one's country.

Funny. Americans were eating at the lunch counter while other Americans had to go around back of the restaurant to get their food through a window. Yeah, they were all Americans, but some of them weren't too happy about that. Well, things have gotten a whole lot better for blacks in America; they don't have to go around back anymore. But change didn't happen overnight, and some racial tensions still linger below the surface.

So lingering tensions are sufficient to outweigh the freeing of hundreds of millions from tyranny, walking on the moon, curing of many diseases, and the other good stuff we did or had a heavy hand in?
Pretty tough standards from Mrs. Obama. I wonder if standards were as tough for her Princeton admission?
