President Trump, love him or hate him, has stripped away any pretense of Americanism from Democrats and other leftists. For them, “Democracy” is only legitimate when Democrats win. Patriotism? Nope, Democrats are not having any as long as any Republican is in the Oval Office.

We’ve seen this play from Democrats over and over again. Each Republican is “Hitler” while in office and later rehabilitated as an example of statesmanship … once they leave office or die.

This psychosis is on full display, whether it is that a whopping 73% of Democrats will not fly the American flag this July 4th Semiquincentennial or the hissy-fits and vandalizing over the White House’s continued efforts to spruce up and restore the fountains, monuments and memorials across D.C.

“Around 7:20 a.m. this morning, the U.S. Park Police was notified by the National Park Service of approximately 15-by-30-foot ‘8647’ graffiti spray-painted in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool,” a spokesperson for the agency told the Washington Examiner. (snip)

National Park Service police said the vandalism was “unacceptable and will not be tolerated on federal lands,” adding that the “affected area has been secured and covered while cleanup is arranged.”

“An active investigation is underway, and those responsible will be identified and held fully accountable,” the agency added.

Can you imagine the outrage, even riots, if any dumb bunny decided to put anti-Obama graffiti on his Soviet-style “library”? However, we know that this kind of public tantrum is so lacking on the right that the Left has to go Smolletting …

Even former President Obama couldn’t help himself but use the occasion of his library’s opening to smear the country that elected him. Twice.

As a general rule, anytime Barack Obama lectures the country or its people on their purported sins—with Khalil Gibran pop platitudes—he is seeking absolution for his own obsessions by projecting his own guilty desires onto others.

The latest? At the dedication of his…

On par with Michelle’s public admission that for the “first time in my life” she was proud of America for the political movement to put Barack in the White House.

This is that person who befriends you, hangs with you, tells people what a good person you are … right up until you lend them money. :::Poof!::: Ghosted.

Republicans have, for a long time, separated their love of the nation from what happens inside The Beltway or whomever is occupying state capitals or mayoral offices. Politics has never been their religion or identity. They cheer unabashedly for Americans in the Olympics, line streets with American flags for returning troops or fallen first-responders. They don’t confuse nation with bureaucracy.

The success of FIFA in America right now — with all the fun of visitors from around the world discovery the real Americans who exist outside the extreme, deep blue urban centers — makes the Democrats “reluctance” to celebrate the nation look downright churlish.

it’s hard for Lefkowitz to imagine enthusiastically cheering against their opponents, because he thinks Trump is tarnishing what it means to be American on the global stage.

Some Seattle soccer fans have mixed feelings about patriotically backing the U.S. team during the FIFA Men's World Cup, given the actions of President Donald Trump. https://t.co/XooQ8rPjSQ

“It’s not how I expected to feel” about the World Cup, he said a few weeks before the tournament. “I still want the U.S. team to win, but everything that goes with that? I’m conflicted.”

Oh, boo hoo. He’s conflicted. I didn’t feel “conflicted” about celebrating every July 4th, Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day, et al, during Barry Obama’s three terms. I certainly rooted for the Americans during both 2012 and 2016 Olympics and the thought of encouraging athletes to boycott the White House never crossed my mind.

So thank the lord, even in Moscow on the Puget, FIFA World Cup American fans turned out for a beautiful show of patriotism.
