They are precisely the opposite. Even if you did believe that there was a chance the Park51 project could breed terrorism or whatever, a patriot is someone who is willing to take on personal risk in defense of the founding principles of their nation. In this case, that’d be freedom of speech.

Indeed. Of course if you try to explain this to one of these folks, then they just launch into a personal attack against you. “Terrorist sympathizer,” “Traitor,” etc.

And Dr. Laura thinks she has it bad? She should be a liberal trying to defend the constitution sometime.
