It's one of those things... (none / 0)
...the right wing has claimed for themselves. They used "patriotism" as a means to further their foreign policy agenda (whatever shovels money to big corporations), just like they used "freedom" to further their domestic agenda (whatever shovels money to big corporations). Also note that "Real America" loves their versions of "freedom" and "patriotism", in addition to demanding more social discrimination in order to protect "family values".
