Happy 4th ... some thoughts on Patriotism
"There are three kinds of patriots, two bad, one good. The bad ones are the uncritical lovers and the loveless critics. Good patriots carry on a lover's quarrel with their country..." William Sloane Coffin, Jr.
I am praying that we can find a way to stay with the "lover's quarrel" patriotism and not let our anger turn into loveless criticism or our desperation turn into uncritical love of our own positions.
