Does Patriotism Matter?

Just because some one disagrees with the war doesn't mean that they are not patriotic. I personally feel that the Iraq war was a mistake and most Republicans agree with that. We should be rebuilding the infrastructure of our country and creating construction and iron working jobs. We should have all of the steel made in the USA..not china. That my friend is patriotic. Maybe we could have done this had that war not been started. We are now stuck in the mud and footing the bill. The Bush administration promised the American people that the oil revenues from Iraq would pay for the war and the rebuilding. We were flat out lied to. We the tax payer are paying for it while our country is falling apart literally.
