Strom Thurmond, racist Senator from SC, has held the Senate record since 1957 for his 24 hr & 18 minute objection to the 1957 Civil Rights Act. It is beyond fitting that @booker.senate.gov may break that record today in opposition to yet more racism & illegal gov activities.

Patriotism is the united interest of a privileged class over an under class. It is merely an expression of the values of those in power, and the expression of those values in turn are shaped by the economic and political systems.
