Until proven otherwise I agree.

Another false fear or issue to rally around.

I have opposed phoney patriotism all my life. I do not say that people who really rally around this are all phonies.

I do say that patriotism is so much more and so much deeper than this and ignoring moral decay but jumping on this issue is simply phoney and political.

If truely a patriot, you respect not only the flag but our justice system, our government, laws, veterans etc.

Speaking to this or simply selected "red meat" thrown at you is NOT PATRIOTISM.
