Patriotism?

Democrats insist that they are patriotic (even the ones who claim that the US was behind 9/11). So what does patriotism mean to a Democrat? In Senator Biden's case it means redistributing income.

We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people. It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut.
Keep in mind that this is coming from the vice-presidential candidate. Also remember that their definition of rich is a numbers game. If you make more money than 90% of the population then you are rich and don't deserve your ill-gotten gains. If you are under that magic 90% then you are the deserving poor (or middle-class).

In the early primaries the candidates all insisted that they were progressives instead of liberals. In Obama's case, this is correct. The progressive movement was heavily influenced by socialism and emphasized class warfare.

Biden has now codified patriotism as including class warfare.
