From Mike Allen at Politico.com, a particularly appropriate reminder about the state of patriotism in the US –
One year ago today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters: “[T]his war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything.” The traditional one-year anniversary gift is paper (books, etc.), but the modern gift is clocks. Senators always find both useful.
Please share widely!
..but he was right then and the statement is still right.

p>Frederick Douglass once said “a true patriot…is a lover of his country who rebukes and does not excuse its sins.” We need more Douglass patriots and less Fox News, never question our government’s war/terrorism policy patriots.
I just call it Yuppie Race Day.
