Glenn Beck’s Idea of Patriotism

Glenn Beck is upset that some NFL players didn’t stand with their hand on their heart during the national anthem. Yes, and I suppose that some Germans were upset that some other Germans didn’t give the Nazi salute when they heard the national anthem. In this case, it was because they were patriotic that they didn’t salute. There are a lot of strange ideas about patriotism going around. But then again, Glenn Beck has a lot of strange ideas. See my forthcoming review of his new book.
