How Conservatives Have Bastardized the Meaning of Patriotism
“When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” The Declaration of Independence, Statue of Liberty, Constitution, and general rule of law, are the new Communist flags to Russian flag-wielding, conservative, self-proclaimed “patriots.” In the past year, we’ve seen the political right launch a zealous campaign against American…
