US corporations take patriotism very seriously.

All American Stanley Tools moved their corporate headquarters from the US to an island nation in the Carribean.

All American Levi Strauss closed down all their US factories and moved production to Mexico (?) and the Far East.

Patriotism is a very flexible word depending on whom it is being applied.

The network didn't take that stance, a company that owns a handful of local TV stations (which happen to be ABC affiliates) took that stance.

And then John McCain called their stance unpatriotic.

well my patriotism is bigger than your patriotism so there. I think I'll just stick my fingers in my ears and hope that word goes away as it annoys the hell out of me.
