I would not say all nor limit it to an organization. The pseudo-patriotism in these parts is sickening. I see it more as mindlessness, it is selling the american people short to even associate them with the radical conformity of some "satanists". It is ill-willed and contrary to a love of liberty. I remember the SCruz Pseudo-Nazis. They were unwittingly funny in their humorlessness.They were essentially laughed out of town. I have made the argument about what fascism would look like here, they just don't get it. JN
