1. "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." -- Samuel Johnson

2. I've been a fan of Issac Asimov for decades

I think his greatest line is from his Foundation novel in which the mayor of Terminus City has a motto on his wall that says "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

5. My favorite Trilogy. I reread it every 5 or so years.

3. They don't care about actual American patriotism.

They don't care about actually supporting this country and the people who live in it. They only care about their stupid bullshit symbolism. I legit cringe when I see idiots wearing those moronic "1776 We The People" shirts. You say you care about this country, but you vote for the most brain dead, moronic, heartless administration in United States history and the shitty politicians who support it. Fuck off.

6. They actually mean "me the people".

And just don’t realize it. They deny reality and, consequently, realization.
