Post-Americanism

Mark Krikorian
The Corner

People sometimes don't understand what I mean when I talk about post-Americanism. Well, the Dixie Chicks have been waxing philosophical again, this time in an interview with the London Telegraph a few days ago (hat tip to Michelle Malkin):

<<< "The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism," Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. "Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don't see why people care about patriotism." >>>


Unfortunately, this summarizes the views of much, if not most, of our elites in Big Business, Big Labor, Big Media, Big Academia, Big Religion. I know there are patriots who support mass immigration, but while restrictionists are rightly called to reject the kooks on our side, mass-immigration supporters are never asked even to acknowledge the attractiveness of their views to both Raza-racist America-haters and to those who "like where they live" but "don't understand the necessity for patriotism."
