Patriotism.
“Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.” - Oscar Wilde.
Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. - Samuel Johnson
So yes, Michele, plenty of patriotism.
I totally agree.
“We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what’s in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.”
-Barack Obama
Me and Obama got it wrong. 
Your Obama quote does not describe the hateful trumps actions.
I agree. Obama was foolish on this topic. I wondered at the time if he was sincere or was just lying for political points. I hope the latter. I would hate to think he’s stupid enough to indulge in the childish idiocy of patriotism. I am a citizen of the planet Earth and I am patriotic to that planet and to the human race.
Damnit! Right again!
It only served to mask Obama’s agenda.
I agree and would take it a step further and say he is foolish on most topics.
How can you agree that Obama was foolish on that topic when a few posts ago you stated you agree with Obama on that topic? Or are you saying you’re foolish too?
If I should ever have a lapse in judgement and align myself with Obama, call me foolish.
Certainly. I often think you are foolish so this will be no trouble at all.

That was hurtful, Reggie.
Oh hush, I was just joking.
I know. 
Here at Utopia, we have a counselor, Dan, and Dr Garcia, who love to play with words. The first word I learned when we arrived was “Cult*ure”, which has nothing to do with this clip. The memory was just triggered when I happened onto this video about those who rule the world. I don’t claim this video to be true in any way. In fact, it would probably go better for me if I call her a liar and suggest she is a nut case.
