Everyone, left and right, know what Ameica was about at its founding. Freedom. Liberty.
Now, imagine yourself a leftist who has twisted those words to mean alternative or completely opposite things. The new definitions are how you see America. Freedom, for example, means freedom from being offended.
You know, deep down, that your definitions of freedom and liberty do not match the initial definition of the words despite what you claim in public. So when people attack your patriotism, you interpret that as an attack on what you mean when you say freedom and liberty.
And if you were a liberal, you’d get defensive.
This is my view on why they overreact when their patriotism is questioned. They’ve wrapped themselves up in different definitions of the words which define our country, When their personal definitions come in contact with the commonly understood definitions, their personal definitions are questioned and found wanting. Their shield is stripped away and they’re left feeling vulnerable.
Giuliani has laid bare the hatred and purely intellectual curiosity of America. Since the Left operate as one, they attack like drone bees.
