1/9 What means "My country, right or wrong"? Is it "America: Love it or
leave it" or "It's still my country, even though I'm under no
obligation to support the current administration"?
\_ Proof is left up to the reader.
\_ Neither.
\_ Neither, but closer to the first. It means: "As for me, I say,
Whether it is right or wrong 'It's still my country', so It
is my duty to support it". I was never a big fan of the quote
even when I was a big Patriot.
\_ Thank you. The reason I ask is that I happen to be proud
of the general idea of America and the potential of its
democratic institutions even though I thoroughly oppose
the current administration. It would appear, then, that
this slogan carries too many contrary connotations to
be useful to me. --op
\_ Yeah, we'd be much better off with a socialist like Gore in
office. You obviously need a slogan more like, "from each
according to his ability, to each according to his desire
and degree of slack laziness". Get a job, kid.
\_ Ah, the flamer answers. Got a job, bitch. You
need to get a moral compass that doesn't point
to your wallet. |
