To April15: You painted all young Americans with the same brush. Putting your reckless charge aside, young Americans not caring about the country is exactly the result that liberals are aiming for.
You were not clear about which leaders you meant. There’s no doubt that leading Democrats hate the country. Are you saying that they also don’t care about America’s citizens?
Thomas Sowell quoted H.G. Wells (1866 - 1946):
Internationalism has long been a competitor with patriotism, especially among the intelligentsia. H.G. Wells advocated replacing the idea of duty to one's country with "the idea of cosmopolitan duty."
Even before Wells died Democrats began enforcing the ". . . the idea of cosmopolitan duty." To a liberal —— duty to one’s country has come to mean duty to the International community.
