The Anti-Patriot Culture of the American Left

I put up a couple of essays on patriotism and politics this last Fourth of July, for example, "Barack Obama and the Patriotism of Dissent."

The topic's endlessly fascinating as a primer on the rise of postmodern culture in contemporary left-wing politics.

Another excellent addition to the debate is found in Larrey Anderson's photo-essay from the Oregon Country Fair, "Why the Left is Unpatriotic and Why the Right Should Say So":

The Oregon Country Fair is an excellent example of the culture of the left in today's America. This is not a culture that favors middle-class capitalism or the traditional form of American patriotism. It is a culture seeking a one-world government, a primitive socialist economic system, a low-tech manufacturing infrastructure, and a religion that worships nature instead of God.

I've got more commentary on left-wing anti-patriotism here.

But for another example, see Perverted Truth, "The Problem of Patriotism."
