The Democratic Party should be out front in framing Patriotism [View all]

Sorry if I don't buy what Traitor Trump's mouthpieces like Bill Maher and Kelsey Grammer are trying to sell me on what Patriotism is..

"Washington warned us to 'guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.' But then these Trumpists repeatedly confuse patriotism with partisanship and invoke a blood-and-soil nationalism that is the opposite of the American promise."
