What ever happened to patriotism?

While the “Republocrats” bitterly throw shots at each other there’s one thing we’re all forgetting. Neither side, in my opinion, goes out of it’s way to promote America. Rather, they promote their polarized crazies and demonize the other “side” mercilessly meanwhile being “owned” by the same corporations.

The state that America is in gets worse regardless of who is in office. So why is the staunch loyalty to party affiliation so prevalent? What ever happened to honoring your neighbors because they’re Americans too? I’m an Independent because I firmly believe that the main parties are a moot point and have outlived their usefulness. I also believe that being an American is more important than being an Independent.

So I ask you, what ever happened to patriotism?
