Deep patriots don’t just sing the song, ‘America the Beautiful’ and then go home. We actually stick around to defend America’s beauty — from the oil spillers, the clear-cutters and the mountaintop removers. Deep patriots don’t just visit the Statue of Liberty and send a postcard home to grandma. We defend the principles upon which that great monument was founded — ‘give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.’
