things we see...but still don't see

Driving thru LA yesterday, i passed the Blessed Sacrament School- engraved above two doors it had the following words: "Grant that I may Learn to love both God and Country."
As I continued to drive something didn't quite sit right with the engraving. Why God AND country?? Isn't nationalism the cause- the very root of evil -- of so many wars, hatefulness, and bigotry?? Why would the sacrament school, which should be representative of that loving, peaceful faith desire for me to love country?? 
I think the answer lies in the interests + motives of those people whom the engravings serve the most. Whose purse strings enabled the graving to occur in the first place. Ultimately, the very same who profits from the modern wars. 
They feed off negativity and hate-
