If you have to tell people you're not a racist, you probably are. If you have to tell them you're a patriot, you're probably not.

Years ago, my husband picked up a t-shirt at Brandywine Battlefield during a re-enactment weekend, but he won't wear it anymore because it has a Gadsden snake on the sleeve, and decent people take a step back when they see it. Another historic symbol lost to the 'patriot' crowd.

Yep. They’ve misappropriated, abused and misused so many American symbols

If you see 'Christian' 'Jesus lover' or a cross in somebody's Twitter or FB bio, you know right away they're nothing the real Jesus would have recognized.

remember the bumper sticker "the moral majority is neither"? Maybe we should bring it back for "Christian conservatives".
