Thankfully, not completely. Yet. But, constant reminders by the actual socialist that loving this country is becoming akin to being a "nationalist" may persuade some that being patriotic is not necessarily important. They have obviously not lived or worked in TWSH places or are of the belief they can be socialistic and not let this place become a TWSH. Thinkin' manuro and other high level 'officials' in vene-zoo-a-lah ain't hurtin' for food or other day to day items. Sad dang situation.

Has patriotism been bred out of today's Americans?

Nope, it has been indoctrinated out, and replaced with ignorance.

4 of my nephews love Trump.

Ironically my 5th and favorite is not interested to learning left.

He doesnt vote, thank goodness.

Thinks dems spend way too much so wont vote for them.

But his heart bleeds too much to vote R.

I put him up against a wall once. It wasn’t enough.

For any bleeding hearts here, I didnt hurt him.

Enough.

It's pretty close to bred out of the next generation. Just talk to them.

They've largely spent their academic careers hearing about how awful America has been. And they believe it.

I challenged one of my college-aged friends on his views because they were a distortion of reality that I had lived through. Given a choice between knowing me and his indoctrination, he chose indoctrination. The only things I asked was that he dig deeper, keep an open mind and observe the world around him.

My existence, relating the actual observed experiences of my life, was an attack of some sort. Sad.

I loved it when Trump said, “America will never be a socialist country — ever.” That woke a lot of people up and the libs looked shell-shocked. There is still plenty of hope.

All I know is in my little neck of the woods (NW Florida Panhandle), I’ve been observing the JRROTC programs in the high schools for over 35 years… and they’re doing an outstanding job of turning patriotic young high school students into patriotic young adults, the majority of them enlisting in the United States Armed Forces after graduation. I personally know four of them… two are my grandsons. It also doesn’t hurt that this area is heavily populated with active, reserve and retired military folks who serve as excellent patriotic examples for the youngsters to learn from and emulate.

I raised my grandsons and taught them the importance of respecting the flag, the sacrifices and contributions of our veterans, and how they could pursue a great future for themselves in this great country. Needless to say, my heart swells with pride concerning these four youngsters. They get it.

Hi.

We still breed warriors. I know a few. They would give their life for comrades and country.

Maybe not as many as before?

In today’s educational environments, patriotism is considered racist, and thus to be eradicated from young skulls.

At its core, patriotism is the idea that there exists a nation, and that this nation is special and to be loved, and that this nation is to be defended against all others.

This idea is incompatible with multi-culturalism. You cannot have patriotism, and tolerate loyalty to other nations.

Bred no.

Trained yes.

Not entirely but certainly any kid in public school is being taught to be ashamed, not proud, of America.

Amongst many Millenials, the answer is sadly yes.

I talk to a lot of them. Many of them have bought into this “citizen of the world” crap. Others think that if America was really the greatest country it would be providing them with free college tuition and health care. Others actually think that they’d prefer being European due to the elevated level of social benefits there. And many who are minorities have been raised to carry racial chips on their shoulders.

Mission Accomplished for the Publik Skrool Sistem.

Bred out? nope.

The effort has been to educate it out.

There’s a reason that socialist pushed universal education, and then took over the education industry.

Any and all benefits to the country have been purely collateral and temporary.

You have to consider the social circle of Mychal Massie.

If that social circle is a bunch of soy boys then the answer to the question is yes.

I would venture that the real answer is no and the title question was merely rhetorical which he proves as such in his critique of the rest of America in the body of the article.

His mind was already made up. He merely wants to convince everybody else that he's right.
