I am one who has always thought that what is in the heart is more important than what might be shown on top of it (i.e. wearing a physical symbol). I see the people who "broadcast" their patriotism, and yet when you scratch beneath the surface you see that they truly do not agree with all of the principles of this country. I have come across it time and time again with Christians, who are loud in their proclamations of faith and yet who break religious commandments left and right and do not see any contradiction in their actions. And of course, in both types of cases, if I point out the inconsistencies in them then they loudly scream out for all to hear that I am unpatriotic/unreligious/etc.
So I keep quiet, and live my life the way I want to, and choose my friends carefully.
