The Reason the Political Right Invokes Love of Country

Advertisements [?]

Edited on Mon Apr-07-08 10:10 AM by Tony_FLADEM

When Conservatives praise America this gives them a free pass in their minds to do anything they want. Since they "Love America", if you criticize something they are responsible for i.e. lying to start the War in Iraq, what you are really doing is criticizing America and all the good the country has done throughout it's history. In other words, they hide behind the American Flag. I wish Democrats understood this.
