Stephen L. Rich BS: What does patriotism mean to you? (130* d) RE: BS: What does patriotism mean to you? 06 Jul 08

The best thing that I have ever heard said on the subject of patriotism came from an Englishman. From 1967 through 1969 Father William Casserley was temporarily reassigned from his home parish in the UK to St Giles church; a small Episcopalian church in Northbrook, Illinois in the United States. This was as all of the political and cultural insanity of the late 1960's were coming to a head.
    The battle cry, as it were, of the political right was "My country, right or wrong". Father Casserley pointed out that true patriotism might be better expresed by the words, "My country, and, God, may it please be right".
