When I went into the Army in 1969, I had to sign and give an oath that I had never advocated the violent overthrow of the US Government or that its leaders should come to harm. Today, such utterances are common from certain members of the GOP. A potential presidential candidate, Newt Gingrich, even compared Obama to Hitler and instead of being taken to task over it, he was invited to talk shows and treated with kid gloves.
When did it become fashionable to show your patriotism by being vile? And what does that say about the people that support such a person?
