You are right in some ways. Dissent of the government is not unpatriotic, nor are you expected to support everything blindly. Dissent of your fellow countrymen (as a whole or large part), dissent of your country as a whole, that is NOT patriotic. Believing the US Military to be wrong before the enemy... that's UNpatriotic dissent, and that's only one example. However, I would NOT find dissent to be the HIGHEST form of patriotism.

I mean, just because I agree with most of the stuff Bush is doing, does that make me UNpatriotic? Or not as patriotic as you who hate our president?

It doesn't make any sense to me how dissent could be the HIGHEST form of patriotism... I mean, I exercise my right to pursue happiness, doesn't that make me patriotic, too? Maybe pursuing happiness is the highest form of patriotism?


I'm the bawss.
