re: #152 Fozzie Bear

I think it’s important to recognize that there is a benign appreciative form of patriotism, and then there is a darker version. American patriotism comes in both varieties.

I don’t deny that it does.

But most of us, most of the people I’ve ever come across in my life, from all walks of life, all colors, all faiths - have the appreciative form of patriotism.

The ones who don’t are the scary ones, the Nazis and such. They are frightening and do damage, but most of us are not there.
