Fascist Self-Loathing

Here is how the Left *really* feels about America. This guy just had the guts to say it out loud:

It’s July 4th, my least favorite holiday.

And I’m not referring to the bugs, or the crowds, or the traffic on the highways.

I’m talking about the mindless patriotic bubble bath we’re all supposed to soak in all weekend long.

Well, not me.

My heart does not beat faster at the strains of the Star Spangled Banner, much less at the sight of F-16s flying overhead to kick off the show.

You see, I don’t believe in patriotism.

You can call me unpatriotic if you’d like, but really I’m anti-patriotic.

I’ve been studying fascism lately, and there is one inescapable fact about it:

Nationalism is the egg that hatches fascism.

And patriotism is but the father of nationalism.

Patriotism is not something to play with. It’s highly toxic. When ingested, it corrodes the rational faculties.

American patriotism has also gotten in the way of solving global warming. Many in the United States, which consumes 25% of the world’s resources but has just 4% of the world’s population, believe we have the God-given right to use up all the resources we can. And there is an all-too-common attitude that we don’t need to listen to any other countries, or the U.N., or obey any international agreements because we’re Americans, and we’re better than everybody else.

We’ve got to get over patriotism, and we’ve got to cure the American superiority complex.

That could have been written by Barack Obama, no?

JASmius adds: The part they always leave out of that Obamunist cliche is that the United States produces a like percentage of the global GDP as well.  Besides which, if libs are Keynesians and economic growth all comes from the demand side, doesn't that make consumption a GOOD thing?

I guess it used to before the Age of Obamatopia.  Now it'll be limited to the Party Elite.
