Moonbat Explains Why He Detests the 4th of July, “I Hate Patriotism, It Leads to Fascism”…
Weasel Zippers ^ | 7/5/2010 | Weasel Zippers

I’m confused, the left always says we can’t question their patriotism, yet Matthew Rothschild, editor of The Progressive magazine, hates America and he’s proud of it. Note: We all know the vast majority of the left feels this way but don’t have the b-lls to admit it publicly…

(The Progressive)- It’s July 4th, my least favorite holiday.

And I’m not referring to the bugs, or the crowds, or the traffic on the highways.

I’m talking about the mindless patriotic bubble bath we’re all supposed to soak in all weekend long.

Well, not me.

My heart does not beat faster at the strains of the Star Spangled Banner, much less at the sight of F-16s flying overhead to kick off the show.

You see, I don’t believe in patriotism.

You can call me unpatriotic if you’d like, but really I’m anti-patriotic.

I’ve been studying fascism lately, and there is one inescapable fact about it:

Nationalism is the egg that hatches fascism.

And patriotism is but the father of nationalism.

Patriotism is not something to play with. It’s highly toxic. When ingested, it corrodes the rational faculties.

American patriotism has also gotten in the way of solving global warming. Many in the United States, which consumes 25 percent of the world’s resources but has just 4 percent of the world’s population, believe we have the God-given right to use up all the resources we can. And there is an all-too-common attitude that we don’t need to listen to any other countries, or the U.N., or obey any international agreements because we’re Americans, and we’re better than everybody else.

We’ve got to get over patriotism, and we’ve got to cure the American superiority complex.

“...Biggest Jewish family this side of Haifa,” Rothschild says with a broad smile.”

Good thing he’s bashing those eeeeeevil patriotic Americans- the ones that helped defeat the Nazis, and brought down the heavily anti-Jewish Soviet Union...

It is a damn good thing that the Russians did not have the strength or means to invade the USA because there would have been millions of fith columnists to help conquer this country. The only good thing about zero getting elected is that they have scurried out of hiding like the cockroahes they are.

Fascism is a form of government that can only come about via socialism, it is a form of socialism just like communism. The difference between the two is one the government owns the means of production and with fascism the government controls the private sector via rules and regulations.
