      <![CDATA[your cut and paste of my comment shows that you have not been paying close enough attention to this discussion. I was mocking snow man's criteria for what he was defining as "hyper patriotism" .<br>
<br>
If you are going to compare a nazi rally to a pie eating contest, I think you need to go back to school.

      <![CDATA[Also, you DID mention patriotism:<br>
"So as long as I don’t THINK my side is more patriotic, and I don’t cheer after EVERY phrase a politician says, as long as I weigh matters "soberly" and align myself with you, than it’s ok to chant USA?"<br>
<br>
And no one said anything about making rules against cheering or chanting.... or anything. We were all just saying it's kinda creepy.

You write about how it's wrong to put labels on people without knowing what's in their thoughts and hearts, while you then go on to label me and two other commenters as liberalists. Do you see the inconsistency here?

the only ones who have attempted to dissect ANY motive behind the chanting of USA at the RNC- are you, snowman and mary anna towler. <br>
<br>
 I never said it was one thing (patriotic) or anther, just that there is no way to know what's in someone's head.

So as long as I don’t THINK my side is more patriotic, and I don’t cheer after EVERY phrase a politician says, as long as I weigh matters "soberly" and align myself with you, than it’s ok to chant USA?

      <![CDATA[Craig (and others here who seem to  miss the point): <br>
<br>
 There is a huge difference between "people expressing love of their country" VS   "hyper-patriotism and chanting". <br>
<br>
Regardless what "side" you align with more ... most issues are NOT  2 sided, black and white like our party system is.  And one 'side' is NOT more patriotic than the other...
