We’ve all known Patriotism has veins. If you cut it, it bleeds. Not my blood, of course. It’s the blood of some gung-ho kid from Ft. Hood. And I show my appreciation every Memorial Day by waving a miniature flag in memory of all the faceless gung-ho kids that took a bullet so I could enjoy my freedom. It’s been a pretty good deal for us who who haven’t given our limbs and lives, lying facedown in the muck in some jungle or desert. All for that miniature flag we so proudly are streaming. Now, Joe Biden comes along and has the unmitigated audacity to reframe Patriotism. He wants to make it about MY sacrifice. Sacrifice? You’ve got to be kidding. What are these Democrats? A bunch of commies? Nope, sacrifice is for suckers, losers. For those gung-ho kids in camoflauge without 401Ks and bright futures. Not for those of us that make over $250,000 a year. No sirree! We aren’t the ones who bleed for our country. Not now. Not ever. Especially not when our country would like us to bleed green. There are other suckers for that. They are called the Middle Class. Let them keep bleeding. After all, it’s their patriotic duty.
