Can You Really Love Your Country?

Why do people get upset with Barack Obama for not wearing a flag pin on his lapel or with Michelle Obama for suggesting she’s not been proud of her country until now? Why is failing to “support the troops” regarded as a sin?

I ponder such questions in my op-ed, "Can You Really Love Your Country?" at The Future of Freedom Foundation website.
