The Right Wing Has Lost Any Sense of Patriotism

Patriotism means sometimes doing something you don't want to do for the good of the Country. Suposedly we all agree that it is important for the United States to become energy independant. Than why did the Right Wing ridicule the President for suggesting that we Americans check our tire pressure? If we just kept our tires inflated and drove more carefully to save gas, we could cut up to 37% of our gasoline usage without spending a dime. Edmunds proved it.(1)

But I don't see any right wing pundit calling for such things.

And when you seek to deny the properly elected President of the United States the opportunity to speak with our youth with cries of "indoctrination", you have lost any sense of what Patriotism means and have forfeited any claim on the word.
