If it had been left to gutless malcontents like Twain, the Union would have been dissolved and millions of people would still be in bondage.
Easy to mock patriotism when all you do is live off the sweat and sacrifice of others.
(for us Americans, at least...)
Also, don't confuse "patriotism" with "nationalism."
