True patriotism the opposite of jingoism: ‘True patriotism differs from jingoism the same way that healthy

parental love differs from the sick obsession of parents who live

their broken, frustrated dreams through their children. Time

and again it’s been the dissidents among us, those most likely

to be mislabeled “un-American,” who’ve been the true patriots

and done the most to make America a light unto the world. Now

is no different, as we seek to articulate a solution that goes

beyond war to eradicate terrorism at its roots.’ Independent Media Center, Los Angeles
