45. First Refuge of the Scoundrel
There's a famous quote about PATRIOTISM being the last refuge of the scoundrel, but with RWers nowadays the first thing they tell themselves and anyone within range is that THEY are they "real" Americans and those who disagree with them are traitors.

This might have something to do with that notion being drilled into their head day after day after day by Limbaugh and Hannity and beck, et al. The idiot with the bumper sticker was displaying for all the world to see that he is stupid enough to believe the blatant propaganda they spew.
