Based on the quote “Authentic patriotism is not about you‚ what you believe or what you think is right. . . . Authentic patriotism is not an opinion. It is an action‚” by Stephen Kieran. He thinks actions mean more than opinions‚ and I completely agree‚ how are you going to expect people to believe or know your opinions if you aren’t showing them? For example if someone said reading books is good for you‚ yet they never read no one is going to believe they think that way. It’s funny how many people
