Dude, you're an American. Or so your flag says. This monster orchestrated an attack on September 11 10 years ago that crashed 2 planes into and destroyed the World Trade Center, another one into part of the Pentagon, and another crashed into a field in Pennsylvania only because the passengers of that one fought back. Hundreds, thousands, maybe millions of people died that day. For that alone, at the very least the United States of America, your home, deserves the right to be happy a bastard like that is no longer alive and causing more death and destruction.
Haven't read past page 3 cause I have to respond to this...
Just because you question something or go against the norm doesn't make a you a flag burning, American hating SOB. Patriotism is simply the love of your country and that comes in many forms. Howard Zinn has been stated before that criticism and questioning of your government is the greatest form of patriotism (the actual quote is dissent but criticism falls under that).
My point is, you don't have to cheer a man's death to be a patriot and you can criticize everything the government does and do it out of the sheer love of your nation and the people in it and be a great patriot. People need to get the idea of he who has the biggest flag is the biggest patriot notion out of their head
