In what context is patriotism foolish? This is why ISIS is winning

I have dozens of the little flags in my closed, every holiday someone places them in front of our houses. They all have an attached business card with the name of the real estate agent or someone that wants to sell me something. Ya, it’s very patriotic.

When in reality, nearly all of Iraq has been regained, and things in Syria, while not as good as Iraq, are certainly not going very well just now for ISIS.

Patriotism is foolish when it turns into nationalism. And, no, this is not why ISIS is winning. Besides, what exactly is ISIS winning? Fearmongering is not the best way to get your point across.

I remember Bull O'Connor calling for law-and-order during the Civil Rights Era. Nixon took advantage of it for the "Southern Strategy" to get elected.

Perhaps the dogwhistles are causing the degradation of the older, bigoted set? That may explain the negative connotations when a dogwhistle is blown. "Make America Great Again" is a code word just like the un"Patriot Act".

That's pretty big talk for someone without a single original thought or any kind of demonstrated analytical ability.
