It's kind of like how I believe in far taxes but I really don't like liberals and their self righteous dogma. I am also a traditionalist and believe in old fashion aspects of society but I don't like the modern conservative movement, which is why I refer to myself as a centrist, traditionalist, pro government and pro patriotism. My views of patriotism is that real patriots give back to their country and its citizens as a show of their love and pride for their country. I believe that patriotism like with many things in today's world had been hijacked by greedy people who use the word to exploit their country

Patriotism is all too often misplaced or exploited, such as by the Anti-EU wings where I live in Britain. There's nothing wrong with patriotism, I myself have a lot of pride in my country, but patriotism is best taken with a dose of scepticism. There are plenty of snake oil salesmen around who like to exploit peoples loyalty.
