69. What It Means To Be A Patriot

Published: July 9, 2019, 5 p.m.

With the Fourth of July behind us, I wanted to take time to reflect on what it means to love your country and to be a patriot. I think this is an important thing to remember in a time when America is divided over whether or not this is a good country.

"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." -Mark Twain
\n"Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about." -Mark Twain

I will give 4 tips to show how you can be a patriot, while not condoning everything your government does.

\n

1. Be thankful, not proud.

\n

2. Criticize, don't hate.

\n

3. Know your neighbors. Be a neighbor.

\n

4. Country over politics.

\n

Use these to vet whether you're falling away and hurting your country or too loyal to your country to the point of fault.
