True patriotism would mean caring for the people and land of one’s nation. Pride about the power and glory of one’s nation without love of its people is nothing more than national narcissistic personality disorder.
Only a narcissistic people could invade Iraq and call the inhabitants who resisted “insurgents.”
Only national narcissism explains how descendants of the invaders who stole this continent could then persecute the descendants of its original inhabitants as “illegal aliens.”
