The Nationalistic Spirit in America and Israel

THE ABOVE IMAGE WAS FROM A MOVIE POSTER FOR THE 1960 MOVIE "EXODUS' WHICH TOLD THE STORY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE MODERN DAY JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL IN 1948.  THAT MOVIE WHICH SHOWED THE STRUGGLES OF THE EARLY JEWISH SETTLERS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE MADE ME AWARE OF ISRAEL.  AND SO BEGAN MY LOVE OF THE PATRIOTIC SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE OF THAT TINY NATION ADRIFT IN A SEA OF ARABS.  BELOW ARE ISRAELI SOLDIERS ON A 3 HOUR BREAK FROM BATTLE----WORTH WATCHING!  AND DON'T FORGET TO READ MY FINAL THOUGHTS AT BOTTOM OF THIS POST.
 
I CRY WHEN I SEE THESE BRAVE YOUNG MEN WHO ARE JUST ON A BREAK FROM BATTLE SHOWING THEIR NATIONALISTIC SPIRIT AND THEIR LOVE OF COUNTRY.  THOSE ON THE LEFT HATE ALMOST ANY FORM OF NATIONALISM AND WILL OPENLY TELL YOU SO, AS THEY ARE PROUD OF THAT POSITION.  BUT LOVE OF COUNTRY AND THE FEELING THAT OUR NATION IS UNIQUE AND EXCEPTIONAL IS AN AMERICAN TRADITION AS WELL AS AN ISRAELI ONE.  SADLY OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT DOESN'T BELIEVE IN AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM AND HAS OPENLY INDICATED THAT.  HE IS AN INTERNATIONALIST WHO WOULD ERADICATE ALL NATIONAL BORDERS IF HE COULD AND REPLACE OUR CURRENT CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT WITH SOME FORM OF UNITED NATIONS CHARTER.  THE MAN IS NOT A PATRIOT.

I keep saying this and saying this. He's the worst president in my lifetime. He beat out Jimmy Carter and I never thought anyone would do that.

Have a fabulous day. ☺

What we see is our president who fails to love his country. How screwed up is that.
