I'm a patriot.

[libertango]

Having spent an inordinate amount of time searching for the original of this, I'm posting it to cast a vote with teh Googles:

"I'm a patriot. I love my decadent, cosmopolitan, self-indulgent, racially-mixed, godless, intellectually dilletante, drug-abusing, promiscuous, queer-loving country. And its flag is the Stars and Stripes."

Thanks for digging this one out.

The one I'm looking for and can't find is where I said "Democracy, I love it. Maybe it can work again" and Avedon just replied "(fingers crossed)".
