My brain's slowly turning to mush thanks to a weekend with my parents and a two hour train journey home, so:

oh, man!
(Also known as: John isn't just rejecting everything Patrick has ever stood for, but now he knows that when John refuses to show up on holidays that he's going to some hovel with this man's enormous family!)
Although, I've always wondered if Patrick could meet Cam's family (if they were "clan mitchell"-crazy, Patriotic to the core, and ultimately accepting) if he would have reconciled (or maybe headded of the disaster that was their big fight) with John. A world where he isn't happy with John's life, but has accepted his son and let him know he loves him would be awesome. But considering how hard headded John is, I'm guessing the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
Re: oh, man!
I'm not entirely sure that patriotic to the core would really have appealed to Patrick. Maybe the ultimately accepting would have won him over, but as you say, I think John gets his stubbornness from somewhere, so maybe not. And I'm really not sure he would have given them the chance.
