That was my first thought.

Some of us <mea culpa> come to the party a little late in realizing this truth. For me, it was after years of active Libertarian party participation, and post conversion from n.o. to tradition. Raised in a large military EWTN-Catholic family, and friends of the same stripe, we believed we were all good Americans and good Catholics.
In retrospect, it was in that order, by the way. When you're an Americanist, it's very difficult to filter politics through Church teaching - country first. With military families (on base) even more so. The first sounds at dawn are Reveille, shortly followed by soldiers marching in cadence. For us, family prayer was later, and the local chapel didn't ring it's bell for Mass until after breakfast, in a way establishing the "country first" mentality.
I admit that back in the day I would have appreciated the article that PTR posted and rationalized some kind of good from it.
