...when it comes to enforcing True Patriot Love in All Thy Sons Command, let alone "fostering a healthy respect" for "the nobility of America," than urging Congress to pass legislation modelled on Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code.

The which, in its entire, provides thusly:

1. Public denigration of Turkishness, the Republic or the Grand National Assembly of Turkey shall be punishable by imprisonment of between six months and three years.

2. Public denigration of the Government of the Republic of Turkey, the judicial institutions of the State, the military or security structures shall be punishable by imprisonment of between six months and two years.

3. In cases where denigration of Turkishness is committed by a Turkish citizen in another country the punishment shall be increased by one third.

4. Expressions of thought intended to criticize shall not constitute a crime.

No wonder such specimens of Zealotry and True Belief are destitute of judgement, let alone having McCarthyist mindsets equating enforced patriotism with Americanism.
