I wouldn't - even if I had the chance - other places might be better but they aren't home.
I am so patriotic - even seeing the white cliffs of Dover on my return from Belgium a couple of months ago - well I just filled up with emotion.

How patriotic are you?
Patriotism was erased from the oxford english dictionary with the advent of the last 2 British governments ...

Re: Patriotic.

I am extremely patriotic and proud to be an American. I am the first to criticize our flaws, such as our healthcare system and former pres "Dubya" Bush, (He didn't get my vote for sure!)

However, so many times I have seen my fellow countrymen stand shoulder to shoulder when someone falls and unite in brotherhood to help them rise up again. You need look no further back in time than 9/11 or the Boston Marathon for examples.

I always feel the tightening of my throat when I hear the Star Spangled Banner, or when I see the statue of liberty waving her beacon in the harbor.

Whatever country you hail from, I'm sure most of us feel there is no place like home.

Re: Patriotic.

Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.

But if home is not in the country in which you were born, it is irrelevant to being patriotic.
