Are you patriotic enough?

As a veteran and a participant in the Iraqi War debacle, I am tired of the Republican Party selling itself as the Party of the patriots.
What is so patriotic about spending Billions of Dollars a month on military contractors while our gulf coast is still in need of help after Katrina?
What is patriotic about sending 1 Billion dollars to the country of Georgia, when so many here in America don't have health insurance?
What is patriotic about giving oil companies tax cuts and NOT supporting alternate energy technologies to make us independent of the middle east and their craziness?
What is patriotic about letting Bin Laden walk free in Pakistan?
What is patriotic about repressing our civil liberties through draconian legislation under the guise of fighting terrorism?
What is patriotic about lying to the American people about WMD's and Iran in order to create wars?
What is patriotic about putting the interest of Israel before the interest of our country?
What is patriotic about invading countries unilaterally without approval or support from Congress?
