The extreme RW seems to think they own the concept of patriotism and love of country. Like you, and like everyone else here I'm sure, I love my country fiercely and hate seeing those guys commit unAmerican acts in the name of patriotism. The fact that on Jan. 6 they used our flag to physically attack policemen still astounds and enrages me.

They did the same thing with religion. It seems like their beliefs, their versions of love of country and of religious teachings are the only way, and that's just not what America's about.
