Ever talk to a Russian immigrant to the US? They feel exactly the same as Mr. Bassal does. Some of the most patriotic people I've met are folks who've escaped brutal regimes and have become US citizens.
We've apparently got the same trouble with left-wing traitors that other countries do. Communism knows no borders.
Did you take a walk through your neighborhood this Independence Day, and notice how many people were flying the Stars and Stripes?
I could count three houses with flag displays, within a radius of about half a mile.
Absolutely. I remember when President Bush visited Slovakia, and the people came out in droves to see him. They even swarmed his motorcade trying to meet him. Many of these folks are more patriotic than our own, especially the damn democrats.
