But Eric, aren't you often trying to "advocate some sort of
relativism" about libertarianism?

{American jurors have complete Constitutional authority to vote
"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

That's a crock of bull! It's not fickle at all. It always has
and
always will mean, support for the Troops and the Military,
support
for the Flag, support for the President, support for our National
Monuments, and the ability to say the Pledge and sing the
National
Anthem, among other things.
Don't try to advocate some sort of relativism about patriotism.
