In July 4th invocation, Rep. Paul Broun compares progressive Americans to al Qaeda
"Father, there are many who want to destroy us from outside this nation," Broun said. "Folks like al-Qaeda and the radical Islamists. But there are folks that want to destroy us from inside, the progressives and the socialists, who want to make this nation a nation that's no longer under you, under God, but a nation that's ruled by man."
One of the features of the post-9/11 Bush years was all the conservatives that would tell us, in matter-of-fact terms, that they owned patriotism. This was a hallmark of ... well, of everything, I suppose, from "Freedom Fries" to any discussion about the merits of invading Iraq, and the reason why wiretapping citizens was fine, and the reason why torturing suspects was good and just.
