Rev. Jeremiah Wright isn't the problem
The hysteria over Obama's former pastor's attacks on America shows we're still in thrall to knee-jerk patriotism.
By Gary Kamiya [2008-03-25]

  • The problem is:

    Passing puffed up pride in place of true patriotism is what landed many myopic Americans this endless war in Iraq. Pride is what preceeds the fall, and patriotism is a sense of national purpose, that binds us all. An Excess of ugly pride ain't no substitute true love of one's country.
