http://www.truepat.org/I really enjoyed this interview with Nick. He and Cenk bring up some very good points about why progressive values are fare more patriotic than conservative values. I think this is a critical topic and message that can be used to re-frame the debate on patriotism in America.
For that reason, I hope you listen to, share and of course enjoy this interview. It'll give you some great arguments to raise the next time you talk to or debate a conservative.
