Raise the Stars and Stripes High (Hollywood says it's cool to love America again.)

Patriotism is cool again. Some would say patriotism, defined as “love of one’s country,” never goes out of style. But to the Left, it’s clearly not an unconditional love. Narcissistic liberals demand a country in their own image.

Still, it’s good to see so many of the nation’s cultural and entertainment elite waving the flag. Hollywood producer and People for the American Way founder Norman Lear is a perfect example. Lear is so moved by the spirit of patriotism these days that he created a campaign focused on being a “Born Again American.”

Unfortunately, liberals like Lear are so out of practice with patriotism that they seem to have adopted it as a surrogate spirituality, or confused it with a very un-American cult of personality.

Lear is an idiot. That tingle he’s getting in his leg is not from America, it’s from Socialism.

fascist nationalism is the only patriotism liberals understand. You want to understand Obama, study any dictator of a totalitarian nation.
