Republicans Don’t Own Patriotism

Chest thumping. Me! Me! Me!

“Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 6:1

Same goes with your “patriotism”.

Beware of people who have a need to wear their patriotism or their religion on their sleeve. Odds are they are neither.

Thank you sir for your service... and as I've often said before I respect your opinion as well... but I'm not mistaking anything when it comes to the discussion of patriotism... I guess you would have hated our local parade..lol... and that's okay... we love how our community celebrates America!!

I hate neither parades nor celebrations of America.
Why would I hate those? I do NOT.

I merely recognize the difference between patriotism and nationalist chauvinism.
Patriotism is hard work.
Nationalist chauvinism is xenophobia and lack of cosmopolitan awareness.

Music is a great equalizer. I love great harmony. I listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir often.

Do you think there are any gays or trans people in those groups? You know, those second class citizens that the right is targeting these days.

And, it has NOTHING to do with chest thumping ‘Muricans.

I guess you missed the point of the HARMONY group....LOL...
Again, there's no such thing as a "chest thumping Murican"....sounds like you're labeling/targeting just as you accuse others of doing...Most of us don't do that, thankfully...;)
This group is just one example of that...and has everything to do with love for others, their community, and their country...
So, you're wrong...again...:)

Well, our parade on the 4th is Very Patriotic...about 200 floats, and bands and groups displaying wildly extravagant displays of patriotism (and much draping and display of American flags) and love for this country...Perhaps I misunderstood what you were saying...there was a great deal of patriotism...and hard work...and no national chauvinism, xenophobia, or lack of cosmopolitan awareness...
But as you are aware, we see things differently...very differently... (You would have enjoyed the participation from the many neighborhood pups...they walked in stages, with tons of water stations...Very decked out, I might say...;) Our city must be some kind of National dog city in addition to being a tree city...lol)

Yeah, there are chest thumping ‘Muricans. I live in Idaho. I see it daily.

You know, bumper stickers that say “America, love it or leave it”.

Giganto flags in 4x4s. Saw one one a Harley ride past my house this morning. Hilarious! “Let’s go Brandon” flag with the stars and stripes on one side (speaking of any flag code).
 
That question has been answered a long time ago and is no longer a question.

Republiclowns have no loyalty to America or the Constitution. NONE.

There only loyalty is to their identity and if anything challenges that... the Constitution, the Courts, the FBi, even fellow life long loyal Republiclown officials, ... they all can burn in the name of power. They would launch a second traitors wars against America tomorrow if they believed they could win.

Grabbing and holding power is the only thing republiclowns are loyal to, and if they have then they will be all about pretending they are patriots.

His flag is his own business and his first amendment right allows him to do so. It doesn’t bother me, but I am able to form my own opinion about the character of such a person. I would add that it bothers the shit out of my wife and my response is “Let it go”. She doesn’t much like that, either.

If you’re so blind as to the chest thumping type of Lee Greenwood type ‘Muricans, I feel sorry for you. Must be weird going through life with such blinders. Funny that you would not kniw what ‘Murica means.

Patriotism is more than that kind of ostentatious bullshit. It’s doing the every day stuff that makes us all better as a nation. It’s supporting efforts to better the welfare of ALL OF US, not just you, as an individual. But righties, in their ad nauseam, “It’s MY right” garbage that stands in the way.

She knows what 'Murica means. She's always intentionally obtuse. It's a character flaw that has become an ingrained part of her wretched personality. She thinks she's clever or pithy, but she's really just a grating, ceaseless liar.

You're right about patriotism and the "It's MY right" obnoxiousness of the right. The most selfish, mindless influence on American culture.

This bitch thinks American flags, honking fire trucks, and "God Bless the USA" mean patriotism. Utterly vapid. Pointless. TOP, you were given an opportunity to define patriotism and you utterly failed.

No such thing, you say? He's wrong, you say? I wonder how your delusion doesn't require you to be committed. Please, gawd, tell me this bitch is not allowed to drive or vote. She already falsely claimed to teach children, but a fraud like this cannot be allowed to participate in civilized society.

You literally made his point. You think patriotism means floats, bands, and flags. True patriots know how wrong you are.
