re: #208 b_sharp

Absolutely. I see it all the time, here and elsewhere.

I never said otherwise rene.

However, the ‘patriotism’ I see from many on the far right, including claiming that fellow Americans pointing out problems with the American culture or actions of the government (like the war in Iraq), makes them unpatriotic and un-American is a horribly caustic meme.

I don’t see full fledged versions of this meme here, ever.

I don’t disagree with that at all. It’s the flip version of lack of patriotism in some far-left groups.
