Is extreme patriotism any good

Patriotism is an emotional attachment to a nation which an individual recognizes as their homeland. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... Dinesh D'souza, an American born and raised in India once pointed out that in his debate eith Jessie Jackson, he realised that he and Jackson had the same color of skin. He figured out that Jackson thinks America is racist because he has never seen real racism. He is comparing America to Utopia. D'douza was comparing America to other countries that actually exist. D'souza pointed out how great America was, and made profound points about American liberals. He said that Liberals want extreme multiculturism, but it is because they have not been in the midst of other cultures in their true form. There is a reason people are running in droves away from their native lands to America and Europe. It's because...their culture sucks. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... http://youtu.be... * America is under attack as never before. This is why "extreme patriotism" is building up in America and Europe. It's not only under attack from terrorists but also from people in America and Europe who provide a justification for terrorism. Islamic fundamentalists declare America the "Great Satan". Europeans rail against American capitalism and American culture. South American activists denounce the United States for "neocolonialism" and oppression. Anti Americanism from abroad would not be such a problem if Americans were united in standing up for their own country. But in this country itself, there are those who blame America for most of the evils in the world. On the political, liberal left, many fault the United States for a history of slavery, and for continuing inequality and racism. Even on the right, traditionally the home of patriotism, we hear influential figures say that America has become so decadent that we are "slouching towards Gomorrah." If these critics are right, then America should be destroyed. And who can dispute some of their particulars? This country did have a history of slavery and unspoken racisms continue to exist. There is much in our culture that is vulgar and decadent. But the critics are wrong about America, because they are missing the big picture. In their indignation over the sins of America, they ignore what is unique and good about American civilization. - America provides an amazingly good life for the ordinary guy. Foreigners who legitimately come to America realise this. Many native born Americans have become blind to this by having nothing to compare the greatest nation in the world to. But...they can tell you who won the Bachelor. - America offers more opportunity and social mobility than any other country, including the countries of Europe. America is the only country that has created a population of self made tycoons. You actually have a chance in America of bettering yourself. -People live longer, fuller lives in America. Protesters scream against the American version of technological capitalism at trade meetings around the world, but in reality the American system has given citizens many more years of life expectancy, and the means to live more intensely and actively. -America and the West have gone further than any other society in establishing equality of rights. Gays can marry, adopt children, etc. Females have equal rights with men. * This is why we have been forced into extreme patriotism. We have radical Islam trying to kill any and all non-Muslims, yet Liberals are screaming that we cannot do anything to block their destruction or mayhem in the name of anti-colonialism and multiculturism. On the other side we have Socialists who want to pay for everything by digging the very dirt out from beneath themselves to do so. They cannot perceive that taking from the top isn't logical. They believe that there is "white privelege", yet refuse to give up that privelege. They want others to give up their privelege. They think taking from the richest will fix it all. Nope. It will make it where no one can get anything. We all become poor by default. Why work hard? Why become a doctor? Why become anything? Why do anything? We all must be "equal". They cannot grasp that the "tycoon" takes all the risk while they take none. He made millions. I should go from $20 an hour to $30 an hour, yet they get paid no matter what while the tycoon does not during bad times. This is why extreme patriotism is taking a stand right now. Without it, the Liberals will have us graveling at the feet of no freedom, no rights, and poverty, like a worm.
