I am nationalist

Gradual loss of moral and political orientations, national
self-consciousness is unreasonable and sometimes the directed washing
led our society to the embarrassing condition, when a citizen is
ashamed of admitting of being a nationalist.
I don’t know why, long explanations concerning the differences between
`national’ and `nationalist’, become necessary that time, penetrating
into historical-terminological mazes, which limit the nationalism from
chauvinism, on one hand and from patriotism on the other hand, in one
word to get in total marazm.
But we can throw that barrier of political correction with one polite
way, by shouting out loud `I am nationalist, but it does not mean that
my nation is better than others. It means that it is not worse than
other nations and deserves just as much as others. Do I have to prove
it?’
This is it. And there’s no need to lie to yourself as if laws are
tough. Elections are always obvious for a real nationalist. And you,
my politically correct compatriots, have you decided who you will
choose or serve?
