The Agonies of the Patriotic Democrat

My California cousin is a hair-on-fire liberal Democrat.

According to a 2018 Gallup survey, patriotism is cratering in the modern Democratic Party, with less than a third of today's Democrats extremely proud of their country.

In addition to Gallup's finding that love of country is dropping like a rock among Democrats, there are other clues that the party once led by genuine American patriots - Democrat icons such Adlai Stevenson, JFK, and Hubert Humphrey - has soured on the country those great men loved with all their heart.

My cousin is a patriotic Democrat and a strident anti-socialist.

My cousin still believes that Obama is the messianic figure he was portrayed as by a fawning media: a flawless American leader in love with his country and its two-party capitalist system.

Barack Obama, Sr., a Harvard-educated Kenyan Marxist whose political views inspired his son to write Dreams From My Father, the memoir in which the younger Obama revealed his "Affinity for Marxist professors and radical student groups."

Like distracted grazers in lion country, patriotic Democrats like my cousin won't realize what happened until it's too late.
