Republicans have “self-proclaimed” to be religious, conservative, with higher level of morality than the rest and more fiscally responsible or inclined. However, for as long as they have repeated those claims, convinced themselves of such and tried to convince others, it’s always been in words only. From churches that condemn homosexuality led by pastors who are secretly gay to GOP Legislators in Washington who claimed to be alarmed by crushing national debt (under Obama) but without batting an eye add more to it the moment they have control of the levers of government.

And patriotism is the latest they have added to the list of their high caliber principles.
