"'My country, right or wrong' is a thing that no patriot would think of
saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying 'My mother, drunk
or sober.'"

Glenn Beck is upset that some NFL players
<http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Glenn-Beck-would-like-to-see-more-patriotism-fro?urn=nfl-318080>
didn’t stand with their hand on their heart during the national
anthem. Yes, and I suppose that some Germans were upset that some
other Germans didn’t give the Nazi salute when they heard the national
anthem. In this case, it was because they were patriotic that they
didn’t salute. There are a lot of strange ideas about patriotism going
around. But then again, Glenn Beck has a lot of strange ideas. See my
forthcoming review of his new book.
