Here is my thought about patriotism. there is nothing wrong with being patriotic but there are people who will brand patriots as zealots and I think zealots is not a nice word. Patriotism is just like saying, “You’re not a religious person but you believe in God and you have fear for Him.” That’s how patriots are and I really salute them for contributing their lives for their country!
