| What do GOP media propagandists know about patriotism? |
|
Pro torture. Pro warrantless surveillance. Pro indefinite detention. Pro permanent occupation.
When did fascist cheerleaders become the arbiters of patriotism?

| 2. They define patriotism as support of GOP ideas. It has nothing |
|
to do with love of country, democracy or the welfare of the American people.

At some point one would hope some of their listeners/viewers would realize they are being conned.

| 4. Yes, one would hope. I think that's why their base is |
|
shrinking. For as long as I can remember, the GOP has used fear and hatred to keep their party faithful in line but it seems like more of them are wising up.
