It does not mean passiveness.Scott Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13830800584331515286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26269839.post-21845347183314080982007-04-14T10:30:00.000-05:002007-04-14T10:30:00.000-05:00What real patriots do:Real patriots do not want to...What real patriots do:<BR/><BR/>Real patriots do not want to see the good name of or nation sullied ( let alone the name of God.)<BR/><BR/>Real patriots love their country enough to improve it and their patriotism has a social content- and that content is social justice (not to be confused with socialism)<BR/><BR/>Real patriots do things the "American way" - the democratic way- not with secret, crypto-fascist coteries in a national security state- but with open debate and open challenges against priveleged interests.<BR/><BR/>Real patriots know that democracy is not just the ability to hold elections- but to serve and fulfill the basic need and interests of the people.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Real patriots are also internationalists- they may love and feel attached to their country- but they also love the people of all countries- all being different representations of the human family.<BR/><BR/>Real patriots educate themselves about the real history of their country and they are not satisfied with the flag waving promo stuff- they want a "people's history" as experienced by the the disenfranchised, the everyday people, the working class and the minorities upon whose backs this country was built- not a view through the lens of multi-national, industrial wealth and corporate power and the worldly,<BR/>ruling class.<BR/><BR/>Real patriots find different things in our history to be proud of than the "Superpatriots" do- like the struggle for the enfranchisement, the abolitionist movement, the peace movement, the abolition of child labor, the struggle for collective bargaining, the extension of universal sufferage to people of color and to women, the struggle for racial justice, they eight hour work day, occupational safety, the struggle for gender equality.<BR/><BR/>In the real patriots pantheon can be found Jesus Christ, Thom Paine, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas, Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, Mark Twain, Susan B. Anthony, Eugene V. Debs, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Martin Luther King and a host of others who stood in dissent to the powers that be and made indelible marks on the history of "People"... and not only those notables but the millions who raised up those leaders and brought them forth and made them national and political forces.Scott Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13830800584331515286noreply@blogger.com
