aren't you a patriot?

my right wing
gun
toting friend who listened
to the radio all day,
turned all the way to the right
used to ask
me
aren't you a patriot?
don't you love your
country?
and now
my left wing
friend,
marching for civil rights,
and
free speech
and occupying the block
while burning
and looting, with
no police asks me
the same thing.
i'm confused. I need a nap.
