Yet more of John Rao's anti-American drivel...
What? A mere proposition, no argument?
Sure. That'll work.
OH NO, NOT ANTI-AMERICAN!
In the religion of Civic Americanism this is the only heresy.
The scary thing is the more it's used the more it resembles the polemics of every totalitarian state against dissenters. Are we a threat to your "revolution"? Perhaps the neo-cons would like to open up "re-education" camps for the likes of us. Do you know where this particular strain of nationalism started?
Anglican England - Henry VII, Elizabeth I - who promted the idea of English identity to ensure loyalty to their heresy and oppression. Catholic priests were disembowled in the public square because of their allegiance "to a foreign power", Catholics were persecuted and discriminated against, Church property confiscated and given to supporters of the crown's hereasy. St. Thomas More was executed for his refusal to endorse it. This is the history you are not told.
