That's a very interesting statement. In your opinion, is this nationalistic bigotry more troubling because it feeds big government or because it blinds some of us who claim to be nationalists?
It troubles me more because if feeds big government, which, in my opinion, is Constitutionally given very limited powers. Those powers continue to usurp the freedoms of the people, taking them from rulers of the government and government being our servants to government ruling us and we being the servants.
There is nothing at all wrong with nationalism as long as that passion does not blind us into doing the very things that will destroy our traditional Constitutional form of government
