In the past 100 years the Democrat party and liberals/progressives/Socialists did much to destroy this countrys greatness. They are not yet finished. Nevertheless, I suggest that conservatives not wrap themselves in the flag as a way of defeating liberalism. Nobody on the Left, or in the media, wants to see this country return to the limited government the Founders designed; hence, patriotism means nothing to them. So instead of singing the National Anthem, I think young Americans will better understand the on-going conflict between Right and Left if conservatives sing this love song to the Constitution:
