Welcome. We are the authors of a pamphlet called “The True Patriot.” We wrote this little book to wrest patriotism back from those on the far right who have hijacked it, to awaken those on the far left who have ceded it, and to remind those of every stripe what being American calls on us to be. Our frustration was that politics now is all tactics and not first principles. Our contention is that when you unpack true American patriotism — the idea of “country above self” — what you discover is a moral framework that goes back to the founding, and that is inherently progressive. Our challenge to you is to join us — or do us one better. On this website you can read our book, comment on any part of any page, start debates, and get plugged into civic action. Whatever your party, faction or faith, we hope you will agree that we owe our country and the next generation a more purposeful politics. Let’s engage. |
