If you think you might be starting to put your political party above your nation, ask yourself some questions:
Are you really a "patriot" like you claim you are, when you tell a liberal or other war-protester to get out of your country if they don't like it??
Can you really call yourself a "True American" with a straight face whenever you complain about illegal immigrants taking your job, while all non-native Americans in this country are immigrants or descentants of them, and that a good percentage of us, perhaps a majority, either came to, or had ancestors come to this land with no legal discourse??
Do you in truth, still believe you're a "True American" when you complain that the left-wing controls everything, even though the right-wing holds a controlling majority in the Excecutive branch of government, both houses of congress, the Supreme Court, the majority of governorships of the 50 states, a majority in the majority of state congresses in the US and a vast majority of control of media outlets in the US??
When you complain about this, are you proud of your belief in an American democratic republic with a congressional two-party system with majority rule, or are you proud in your belief that you want the nation to only have one political party that dominates all government, that would result in the demise of American democracy??
When you wave your American flags and sing your Lee Greenwood songs about "God bless the USA", when you misleadingly tell your friends that the war is going well, are you showing your loyalty to The United States Of America, or the Republican Party??
When you tell someone who is against the war that they're a traitor, are you still indebtted in the belief that you cherish your country more than anyone else, and not your political beliefs that someone else might not agree with you in??
And last, but not least: When you hold your banners high telling us to "Support Our Troops", are you doing this in the name of uniting Americans to support the war, or are you doing this because you support a war based on the partisan beliefs of men whom you share them with??
Think hard about it. Someone who values his or her politics above their nation is not a "patriot" at all. They're certainly not a true American in my book.
Are you a proud citizen of The United States of Republicania???
