How to be patriotic?

You can certainly connect with having freedom and the right to vote!!! You have the freedom of speech and the ability to move up in the world (if you want it you can achieve it)- So, if you want to connect and understand what it is to be patriotic you need to look at this election seriously and see what both men stand for- one is going to take your freedom away (Obama) and one is going to keep your freedom alive (McCain)- he served his Country with pride and honor!!!!!
