re: #233 The Vicious Babushka

You can be proud of your country in the same sense that you can be proud of your home sports team.

Exactly the correct analogy. That’s how I see politics and statements of love of country.

You can love your country, be proud of your country, and appreciative of where the gift of birth landed you. But if you can’t do it without denigrating another, IMHO, you’re a worthless POS.
