Nazism would not have occurred without the ridiculous ultra patriotism that HItler cultivated. That kind of patriotism is dangerous, and I’m sick of the ultra right wing wrapping their religion in my flag.

Baloney. Your sickness is the most dreadful problem affecting our body politic. You have committed at least 4 major fallacies in that ridiculous and petty outburst.
A) Hitler did not promote ultra patriotism. He promulgated a sick and disturbing racism of the type your sick post espresses.
B) Your flag is founded upon the principles to which your so-called ultra right wing is committed. Defame them and you defame your flag.
C) Hitler came to power in precisely the identical way that Obama has come to power. Both are fantasized idols of leftist utopianism.
D) Patriotism does not exist in types. One is either patriotic or one is not. I spy you are not.

Of course, patriotism comes in "types."

The type that says you aren't a patriot if you criticize your leader or your country is POISON.

That fanaticism resides in the ultra right wing of the Republican Party. It doomed Germany. We shall see what happens here.
