In my humble opinion, patriotism
… is a heartfelt emotion
stirred up by love for country
stirred up by love for Constitution
stirred up by love for others
… does not compel others
to love like you do for our nation
to love like you do for fellow citizens
to love like you do for law and regulation
… is all-encompassing
it embraces all who do not look like us
it embraces all who do not think like us
it embraces all who traveled to be with us
