Democratic Leaders, Why Do You Find Patriotism Divisive?

David Limbaugh  "Did you ever think you'd see the day when a prominent political party would accuse the president of being divisive and exclusionary for saying "America" too many times during his State of the Union speech? 

"The American Civil Liberties Union made that very complaint. No, the ACLU is not the Democratic Party, but their positions on such matters are virtually indistinguishable. Besides, many prominent Democrats and media liberals made similar objections after the speech. 

"MSNBC host Joy Reid brazenly trashed traditional American values and institutions with her tweet accusing President Trump of trying to force the normalization of himself by using "terms of the bygone era his supporters are nostalgic for" -- namely, church, family, police, military and the national anthem. 

"House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called Trump's unapologetically pro-America speech, which was widely approved by the American people in flash polls immediately afterward, "dangerous." 

"Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., who recently compared Trump's presidency to a time "right after the 1932 elections when Adolf Hitler was elected chancellor," took umbrage at Trump's statement that Americans, like the immigrants whose parents brought them here illegally as children, "are dreamers, too." 

"Fox News analyst Juan Williams was deeply disappointed by the speech, saying that this was an opportunity for Trump to reach across the aisle and bring us together but he didn't take it. More bizarrely, Williams said in response to Trump's statement that "Americans are dreamers, too," "David Duke and the KKK would love that." Seriously? " . . .
