It's really simple to me. I feel a little wierd using the word 'patriot' because it seems to have lost it's meaning in these times. What one person might think it means, may be completely different from another (just like Christianity...but that's another thread)... So here's my take...
The Constitution is not just a piece of paper, I believe it's one of the greatest documents ever created. It lays out a system that is arguably the best human history has seen. This document provides each one of us with essential freedoms we need to live happy lives. I couldn't care less who the fuck is in the white house or who the fuck writes the laws, this document supercedes them all unless amendments are passed and the idea that someone would defend this document with their life is the greatest example of 'patriotism' I can think of.
