Patriotism vs. Nationalism. Don't confuse the two. Most of the negative comments I read lead me to believe the writer has confused them. Nationalism is the love of country in its current state; patriotism in the love of the country 'with Liberty and Justice FOR ALL.' The USA is not perfect and unfortunately has fallen into many of the potholes the founding Fathers tried to warn us against. It has many sins but it is still the greatest country. The man in the video was a Patriot.

@lukewhoa Websters 1828 did not have the word Nationalism. His definition for National was "pertaining to a nation." Thus my extension of nationalism are those within a nation. Nationalism, if a movement, is a movement to have the country serve you verses Patriotism in which one seeks to serve the country.

@REYNOLDSROAD I understand, but you looked up the wrong word. nationalism and nation are different. I thought about this response the other day and I feel I neglected something. Nationalism is the movement, whereas a nationalist is the person within the movement. Patriot is in fact a nationalist. Just that a patriot goes beyond simple support and is essentially imortalized.

@lukewhoa...my apologies for the delay in responding. I have been in the process of moving and have just unearthed my 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language by Noah Webster. Per Webster, "Nation - A body of people inhabiting the same country.." "Patriot - A person who loves his country and zealously supports and defends it..." My thinking is still that this fella was a Patriot. And that Nationalists and Patriots are not nearly remotely "chalked up" in the same category.

Hopefully everyone who has read the comments below giving addresses and/or bank accounts haven't sent anything. Everyone should wait until information is released publicly and not by unknown youtube users...

When you have nothing then you are truly not ignorant.

@PhantomLyric agreed i love the nationalists that run around attempting to cloak themselves in stars and strips...There no better than the religious zealots that kill people in the name of their faith.. zealots are zealots..

i love how they say if you dont like it here you should go to n korea. or something..always extremes.. they fell to realize that good change has come from people that didn't like how things are going in the country...
