The link between traditional values and patriotism is real. Can you be a patriot when the traditional values of your nation are being violated by your government?
I generally agree with regard to Trump’s actions but let’s not be too wed to tradition which I think can be much improved on. The Constitution doesn’t even guarantee us a “right to life” - a right of access to basic necessities - and we have yet to figure out exactly how elections should be held so we have real choice in elections and the candidates who best represent the voters are elected. As long as believe the rhetoric about “our democracy,” as opposed to the reality of “our semi-democratic oligarchy,” we won’t recognize the importance of the voting system issue.
Jenny, Israel is not the tail that wags the dog. That makes no sense at all. There are a significant number of "Jewish Supremacists" in the American Oligarchy who claim to support Israel and they sponsor AIPAC which controls our Congress. Many of these people are also members of the "Jewish Mafia" and are indeed very rich criminals. They are corrupt and engage in fraud, embezzlement, bribery and extortion.
They are supported by other Billionaires who are also part of the "Deep State". The "real 'Deep State'" is much, much more than just "Jewish Supremacists" or Billionaires. They are members of the CIA and NED who operate outside of the control of America's political leadership. They actively oppose that leadership and have no allegiance to it.
Claiming that Israel controls the United States is a lie fed to us by the Oligarchy owned main-stream media, which spreads propaganda and disinformation to convince Americans that the Oligarchy deserve to run the country and that they are the driving force behind what makes America Great. Another lie.
Donald Trump is, perhaps and hopefully, about to abandon America's proxy-warrior Israel; just as he has abandoned Ukraine. There is probably great debate among the Oligarchs whether he should be allowed to do so. This debate creates and opportunity for American Citizens to take control of our government and free ourselves from the Criminal Oligarchy.
If we mistakenly believe that Israel controls America, we will not fight the real power that threatens us.
So please stop insisting that the "tail wags the dog" and start addressing the criminal billionaires right here.
What is your problem? If you are not capable of anything but name calling you might what to finds something else to occupy your time. Explain your position and I might engage with you again.
From my perspective as an native European, there are two forms of patriotism.
ideological patriotism (belief system based) - this is the most common patriotism, e.g. based on the Christian belief system, with the great claimed Christian values such as love, peace, humanity, etc. and the real values of the Christian belief system such as stealing, murdering, cheating, lying, etc. recognizable by the facts lived
A few popular Christian blessings “Go with God and kill them all”, “Subdue the world (enslave them all)”
About the facts:
It is worth seeing where Pope Pius XII can be seen in pictures during hurricane winds, where he was almost blown away while blessing the German submarines. What kind of patriot?
Christian ideology has killed as many people as live on earth today.
Most National Zionists (Nazi's) are Protestant Christians. Why do Donald Trump, Friedrich Merz and Benjamin Netanyahu get along so well? I find they are 3 really good examples of ideological Zionists patriotism.
natural patriotism with natural values (all derived from nature, nature shows how life works) such as honesty, sharing and so on. When the first Europeans came to North America, they were welcomed by the natives, they shared what they had with them; food, clothing, land and the very idea of the foundation of the structure of the United States came from them. These people fought for their children, their natural culture (way of life) and their land. They are still fighting for it today. They lived their lives by live and let live. What kind of patriots? What can immigrant Americans learn from them?

You MUST be an American feminist!

Thank you Scott for this rant on patriotism.
