"The new left-wing patriotism doesn’t consist of actually
loving this country. Or discarding their conviction that America is the
worst thing that ever happened to this continent and this planet. Instead, conveniently, the new patriotism consists of hating President Trump."
The New Left’s Fake Patriotism
You can’t hate America and be a patriot.
July 6, 2017 Daniel Greenfield
If anyone doubts that patriotism really is the last refuge of a
scoundrel, a recent CNN article boasts that liberals are reclaiming
patriotism. After going through their musty attics, tossing aside copies
of Howard Zinn’s revisionist Marxist history of America and all the
“U.S. Out of Everywhere” buttons, they found their patriotism,
moth-eaten, covered in dust and a little worse for the wear. But
otherwise intact.
That’s right, progressives are patriotic again. Again refers to the brief period between the end of the Hitler-Stalin pact when the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union necessitated a sudden outburst of pro-war sentiment and the beginning of the Cold War when the Communists became the enemy again.
When the left acts as if WW2 was the only good war, it’s because it was the only war that didn’t force them to choose between their sympathies for Communism and their United States citizenship.
Every time they did have to make that choice, history records their duplicity and sordid treason.
