Define that how you want.

While watching the HBO series on John Adams again the other day, combined with some research I've done recently into a certain late 19th/early 20th century social movement, the question occurred to me whether those who loathe the current government, for whatever reason, consider themselves patriots. Due to the nature of the research and some themes in the Adams series, I became particularly interested in the thoughts of those who seem to base their opinion of their country or the individuals who run it on single issues, or issues that collectively can be combined into a single theme. For example, Adams defended the perpetrators of the Boston Massacre, yet was one of those most responsible for the Declaration of Independence being signed. He considered himself a patriot and others did as well, but the term "patriot" was defined differently at different times.

So, are you a patriot?
