People who love and defend a government are creating parental figures out of the state instead of growing up and taking their stand as mature individuals.

There's nothing wrong with civic pride and feeling a bond with your community. But a country is not a leader, or a party, or a religion or ethnicity. America is united diversity. E pluribus unum. Love and celebrate that, or just admit that it's not about loving people like you but instead hating the people who are not.
