In reply to the discussion: The GOP is A HOAX [View all]DFW
(54,358 posts)42. The biggest scam of all is that their patriotism doesn't exist
They claim to love an America that never existed and never will.
They want Americans of European descent to rule the world and be both feared and loved for it, where the rest of the world will never love us if we force them to fear us.
That is not patriotism, it is an inferiority complex that is self-inflicted. Get comfortable in your skin (they never will), and you have made the first step toward gaining the respect you so covet. They are terrified (with good reason) that their god, whom they trot out as their justification for all evil deeds, if real at all, might not really approve of what they are doing.
