Patriotism

"You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country cannot just be a flag. The symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Now show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms."
​

This kick-ass line is from The American President (delivered with incredible passion and fervor by Michael Douglas) and I agree with it whole heartedly. (Though Sorkin drives me bonkers on a few levels; here, he makes a very solid point).

I think of this every time someone wiping mustard off their face with a flag napkin complains about a peaceful protest being unpatriotic.
