Have we lost our Patriotism?

Disagree. It's not fashionable to do/say the things in public that the leftists said about the military in the 60s and 70s, and it certainly doesn't help their agenda. In general, the left doesn't give a rat's ass about veterans. It's all about furthering the cause and badmouthing vets, at least in public, hurts the cause.

Think of what liberals typically say: "Oh, yeah. I support the troops, fer sure. I just don't support the wars." I can think of few things that are more hypocritical and transparent than saying/believing something like that.

It's the modern-day version of "baby killer".

I'm with Bailey here. It's not that the liberals have changed their minds or attitudes, it's that they learned how despicable people thought they were for spitting on troops and waving "baby killer" signs so they hide or disguise their attitude in public. Bottom line decisions show today's generation is even worse because so many of them have no connection whatsoever to the structures and traditions that built the country. They just don't think about what it means -- and you see it in the disrespect and disregard shown through daily actions like the stupid beeyatch with the dumb YouTube video at Arlington this past year.

I guess one truly revealing factor is the election of Obama. I truly can't believe that somebody who was as openly anti-American as Obama was elected as president. How could he say what he said, wrote what he wrote, and associate with who he associated with and be elected. ...because, the people in the country have no sense of country, patriotism, or founding principles; In other words patriotism is dead.
