Patriotism has had a revival recently. What exactly is patriotism? Please help to find out.

Yes, of course!
Yes, since 11/9
Maybe, but give me first the definition of patriotism

No, even though I am American

You have to show the flag on your SUV
You have to be proud to be an American

It is not patriotic at all, considering vehicles kill 80,000 people yearly
Why do you think was there such a strong patriotic movement after 9/11?
Because the 3000 fatalities were a threat to the US
Because US citizens did not know how else to react
Because the media pushed it
Bush pushed it in order to strengthen his position
Bush pushed it to distract from the real issues
