A commitment to patriotism
According to his unspeakable utterances a week ago Horst Seehofer German parliament sat at the JU to greater heights:
It should not be "constantly apologize that it has a love for their country." There is every reason to be proud of Germany.
What he talking about? He is doing as if patriots are similarly despised minority, as there are migrants so slow!
I see myself as a German patriot. I am proud of our country and what it has done. And as a patriot, I want it in the future our country is better off - but that is certainly not with the reactionary visions of the future Horst Seehofer, and like-minded people whose world view in recent decades has developed.

And the SPD, with its unconditional support for a variety of bankrupt industries better here one iota.
No, lived patriotism is not always a nostalgic, idealized "golden age" zurückzutrauern that was not actually golden Sun Patriotic is to continue development of the basic structures of Germany, so live that our children and grandchildren in a wealthy, healthy, and sustainable land!
And very few parties have even close to a policy that looks to the future rather than the past is. Yesterday I had to
