The Highest Form of Patriotism Is To Be Unpatriotic?

The left is proudly saying “I’m not a patriot” when just moments ago we were being warned not to call them unpatriotic. Apparently some have not gotten the message.

This appears to be part of the Obama syndrome.

Rush Limbaugh has an entire list of things we can’t say about Barack Obama and his friends. And in his sudden pirouette with his American flag lapel pin, his newfound love of country, his bear hug of the second amendment, his “nuancing” of his position on the Iraq war. Now I know how the faithful Communist felt in the 1930s and 1940s as they tried to keep up with who had now been revealed as an enemy of the people.

So now we know that it’s OK to say to creatures like Matthew Rothschild that he is not patriotic.

I predict that there will be flurry of Leftists echoing him.

As I said, wait for the rest of the Left to follow. It's easier than trying to maintain the illusion of patriotism when everyone knows the game is up.

In Democrats’ minds, true patriotism is to despise the United States of America. That is why Democrats are working so hard to ruin our economy and bring our nation to its knees.

.. yes and like Obama Stalin was their savior who had turned hope into change and won; Uncle Joe, to far too many liberal Americans, was the savior right up until the moment Khrushchev in 1956 acknowledged the truth about Uncle Joe Stalin.

When will Obama's Khrushchev moment come? Or, a better question, will it simply be explained away with a 24/7 barrage of excuses from MSM employees?

it’s interesting that patriotism is disparaged in this country,

but the chicoms promote patriotism.

patriotism went out of style about the time of the deification of the

great god jfk by the liberals.

If a leftist signed a notarized statement on live television in front of 20 million viewers that he hated the US, and then somebody claimed that the person was unpatriotic, he would be suing for slander.

Obama’s fakery can’t hide forever.

[popdonnelly]

The Left believes that the history of the U.S. is one unmitigated disaster, brought on by evil white capitalists.

[Defiant]

To the left, patriotism is saying and doing the things that need to be done to make America into a socialist, atheistic, hedonistic and amoral society. Their goal is to tear the old America down and to rebuild a new one, and that, to them is patriotic, because they will be able to love THAT America.

Thus, Hillary once admitted, while she was first lady of the US, that she pledges allegiance to the United States as it can be, not as it is. Thus Obama refuses to pledge allegiance at all, as his supporters sing the black national anthem.

True patriots love this country, its heritage, traditions, literature, culture and people, revere its constitution, and are willing to fight to defend the nation and their personal freedom. Leftists are willing to fight to take away those things.

Yes, I remember that.

Hillary doesn't love America. She loves what it could be. That is the liberal view of this great country of ours. That hate the country we have and want to re-make it in the image provided to them by that famous philosopher Karl Marx.

No thanks.

The left misunderstands the quote, "Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels" to mean that all patriots are scoundrels. While it is possible for a crook to drape himself in the flag, it is impossible for a traitor to disguise his treason.
