Japanese pride and patriotism
Many people in Japan have expressed concern over the lack of pride and patriotism in their nation. This video is about urging people in Japan to show their patriotism. Many people throughout the world express patriotism for their nation, even that Olympian from Somalia. People in Japan sent messages stating patriotism is frowned upon as it is associated with far right and far leftist groups. It is not taught in the schools as indicated from these good people who sent the messages. Also stated if one shows pride, they are reprimanded and associated with one of those fringe groups. That is a shocking and confusing. Understandably some of it has its roots to trying to make sure the militarism of the last century does not resurface, but enough is enough. That militarism was only about 50 years long of a blemish Japanese history out of a history of over five centuries. Almost all nations have blemishes in their history if not longer; yet take pride in their nation. Look at the USA, slavery for about 83 years, blacks treated as 2nd and 3rd class citizens for about 100 years, treaties broken and land stolen from Native Americans for about 100 years. Yet many Americans are all extremely patriotic of their nation, including blacks and Native Americans. So why do the people of Japan have to deprive themselves of this same pride? Japan is a tiny country, limited land, almost no natural resources, and your nation was devastated 60 years ago, and with all that, you have the number two economy in the world! Wow, that in itself deserves pride, because that was accomplished by the people, not by a wealth of natural resources or enormous land mass.
The futures of the USA and Japan seem to be linked in prosperity and friendship. Now why not both nations exhibit a healthy pride of their homelands equal to the others?

Do You Love America? Patriotism vs. Nationalism in America
Each Presidential Candidate says they "Love America the Most"
Maybe we should be more worried about who will do 'The Most' for America.
Far too often in America today, Nationalism is mistaken for Patriotism.
Mindless flag-waving, chanting of USA, USA, USA is not the behavior of a Patriot, but that of a Nationalist.
Obama
Clinton
McCain

Obama Defends His Patriotism, Lauds McCain's
PlusObama Defends His Patriotism, Lauds McCain'sObama Defends His Patriotism, Lauds McCain'sThe Associated PressBarack Obama is on a patriotism tour, defending his commitment to the country. He's also defending rival John McCain's military service, saying no one should question its importance. (June 30)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] It's a question that's dogged Barack Obama since he started his run for the White House.Is he patriotic?Obama is making his most concerted effort to answer that question, with a weeklong patriotism tour.SOTBarack Obama"I've always taken my deep and abiding love for my country as a given. It was how, I was raised, it is what propelled me into public service, it is why I am running for president" [Notes:video of Obama without flag pin]Obama was questioned early in the campaign because he didn't wear an American flag pin. At the time, he said he didn't need a pin to prove his patriotism. [Notes:Obama with flag pin]But recently, the pin has been a staple on Obama's lapel.Obama blamed some of the criticism on himself, and the rest on his opponents. SOT"i've found, for the first time, my patriotism challenged, at times as a result of my own carelessness, more often as a result of the desire by some to score political points and raise fears and doubts about who I am and what I stand for" Obama is also seeking to tamp down the controversy surrounding comments made by his supporter, Retired General Wesley Clark.Clark questioned whether Republican John McCain's military service prepared him to be president, saying "I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president." Obama is distancing himself from Clark's remarks. SOTBarack Obama"For those like John McCain who have endured physical torment in service to our country _ no further proof of such sacrifice is necessary. And let me also add that no one should ever devalue that service, especially for the sake of a political campaign, and that goes for supporters on both sides."McCain called the comments unnnecessary, and said is proud of his record of service. ___ ___, The Associated Press.
