so, the two of you think it's a bright thing to not keep vigilant for espionage from within the government? Seeing as how that is the kind of espionage that got out nuclear secrets to Israel, technology to China and Russia? Seriously?

I hate the term, actually, as it generally is used to prop up bogus nationalism. On the other hand, NO ONE here cares more about the long term health of the United States, and NO ONE here has the roots in the nation I do. Further, few, if any of you, and especially you, Pud, do more to make the place better.

Say that to the families of folks buried in Arlington Cemetery, cuz ya can't say it to the folks buried there.

Your "false concern" about health is the result of your "country club" education. You may have the "roots"? Being born into them? Is a dab different, than "earning" them.

As opposed to your "selfless" contributions?

I dare say that many of them, and in fact most of the originals(Civil War)never viewed themselves as 'patriotic' nor did they care to be regarded as such. Most of the folks I've encountered who bandied that term around had self-interest foremost in their minds.
