Patriot as defined in the OED:
a. A person who loves his or her country, esp. one who is ready to support its freedoms and rights and to defend it against enemies or detractors.
b. derogatory or ironic. A person who claims to be disinterestedly or self-sacrificingly devoted to his or her country, but whose actions or intentions are considered to be detrimental or hypocritical; a false or feigned patriot.
I get so tired of hate groups calling themselves “patriots”. A small college I know sold shares in a time capsule as a fund raiser and called everyone that coughed up a hundred bucks a “patriot and citizen”. So the price of partriotism is a hundred bucks. What a crock. Check out the article on Kalispell, Mt. (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gg8rdUcUb2BBadNHJUJ3GgepCmVg?docId=84e43afb2c0945e89b196894c7b6270c) to see what I mean. What Crap.
