Link patriotism or nationalism to education or being a highly-informed voter.
I personally think you're highly-informed, but quite subjective. I've got a few years of graduate-level polysci experience under my belt so my skepticism isn't mere speculation. Tossing about degrees is quite unendearing. Show me some stats where patriotism isn't a virtue and I'll shut up. |
