The No. Korean leader is friendlier than the democrats even though the democrats share the same ideology and ideas on one party rule !!!
Mexican flag might show up at a dem debate especial after Beto met with his constituents in Mexico !!!

Superficial patriotism is the hallmark of today's conservatives.

What a ridiculous premise for a thread. I guess that is how conservatives gage patriotism. It is not about the act but about the show. This is fitting for them in the age of Trump.

The Democrats are now ON RECORD as being ANTI AMERICAN and Pro Illegal Alien. They have put Illegal Aliens (foreigners) above American Citizens and want to steal from U.S. citizens to give to Illegals in order to get votes. Free healthcare, free college, and the next will be stipends (universal basic income) for illegals to come here. It is sick and twisted.

In addition, the fact they are critical of Trump for trying to bring peace to the Korean Peninsula speaks volumes. The Democrats are anti Peace, and therefore must be pro nuclear war.

I guess the most Patriotic place I have ever been is the Dollar General around Memorial day or 4 of July. There are usually over 100 American flags of all different shapes and sizes all over that store. The flag plates, napkins, and cups make me feel swaddled in patriotism.

So based on the criteria of this thread, I nominate the DOLLAR GENERAL as the most Patriotic person, place, or thing in America. Nothing says America like the Dollar General (I do mean that BTW).

My opinion:
How about giving the Don cudos for being the first American President to have
the cahones to set foot in this ruthless country. This kind of thinking makes me worry

You know things are bad when something like that excites you.

The hyperbole is strong in this thread.

Superficial patriotism is the hallmark of today's conservatives.

Opinion:
Is it superficial to carry a pin for dedicated miltary service or any other kind of
devoted service carried out by white or blue collar folks? You seem to confuse pride
with Halloween; the one day children dress up pretending to be someone they are not.
Unfortunately it seems to have emboldened itself into adulthood with some.
