It’s been hijacked by the right and abandoned by the left, but the
principles of true patriotism -- country above self, responsible
stewardship, equality, shared sacrifice and service -- are inherently
progressive. The True Patriot challenges progressives to retake
patriotism. Written in the pamphleteering style of Thomas Paine, it
presents a manifesto, ten-principal plan, and moral code that reframe
the concept of patriotism and return politics to what it once was: a
civic virtue and responsibility that fueled the country’s founders.
