- A "Homeland" and all the imagery connected to it (also prominently featured in patriotic songs) Invocation of patriotism, of which there is supposedly never enough
- Glorification of the military while regarding actual soldiers as disposable
- Glorification of motherhood with ulterior motives (the Lebensborn movement got started with homes for unwed mothers to prevent abortions)
- "We" are the good guys, not because of what we do (or don't do) but because we say so - "We" are superior at anything and everything, again because we say so
- Discrimination against a particular minority is morally justified to preserve national security
- Even though racism and gender discrimination are considered morally right, ideology supersedes racial, ethnic, or gender affiliation. Minority members are tolerated ("We decide who's a Jew") and women can have careers if they are useful to the party
- A crime or injustice was committed against us, so we must punish somebody, whether they had anything to do with it or not
- If we lose a war, it's the left-wing traitors' fault
- Everybody else is out to get us, and we must get them first - Messed up grammar and nonsensical sentence structures interrupted by bumper sticker-style slogans.
...Fox News.

Yah, Robertson is evidently unaware that the voice he hears daily is actually Satan, for his God is supposed to be an unconditionally loving, merciful and forgiving God. There really isn't much more to say other than to ignore those types, lest you give them more influence by humoring their hypocrisy.
As for the Daily Kos quote, were those supposed to be aimed at the right or just in general? I see both sides falling into a lot of those points, so that's why I asked.
Whoops, didn't realize those entries were separate. Disregard the first half of that original comment. :O
yes, 2 entries- actually the Daily Kos quotes were aimed at Fox News mostly, but i guess by some association Republicans. Simply, I just interesting how human ideologies stay the same. You can see trends in history on how to manipulate or disguise. And yes, both "side" still do it.
