Issues Under Fire: Patriotism Vs. The Freedom to Disagree




Issues Under Fire show

Summary: When patriotism and loyalty are demanded, you are not free. If you ever feel uncomfortable expressing disapproval of your government, you are not free. If you feel like an outsider for disagreeing how the U.S. military is being used and abused you are not free. If you ever feel pressured to stand for the national anthem, salute the flag, or pledge your allegiance to the United States, once again, you are not free Therefore, when Donald Trump calls you un-American for not praising him as America's Commander-in-Chief, you should feel proud, because nothing is more American than fighting to be free.
