Patriotism, Democrat Style

I loved Ed Whelan's post in the corner this evening.

Obama’s Patriotism [Ed Whelan]

Ah, now I get it. I had found it puzzling that Democrats kept saying that you can’t question the patriotism of someone who has a record of consorting with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorists, of selecting as his pastor and spiritual mentor a spewer of anti-American screeds, and of generally blaming America first. But now that Joe Biden has explained that higher taxes are patriotic, I finally understand the sense in which Barack Obama’s patriotism is beyond question.
