43. Because We Are!

:sarcasm:

I think really it can be traced back to a long lost sense of true patriotism (not phony patriotism, jingoism spouted by the right)

You know, back when we really fought wars for things like our independence, and to "make the world safe for democracy", things like that.

Freeps use it to justify their illegal, immoral wars for oil, calling it "freedom".

Does this make some sense?

I guess I'm saying I think it can be traced back in history when America was a fledgling democracy in the world and through the big wars.
