That type of mindless embracing of something you're not really paying attention to, is typical right-wing mindlessness.

Check out the lyrics to Bruce Springsteen "Born In The USA" while keeping in mind that reagan used it in 1984 presidential election campaign rallies and even mentioned it in gushing, patriotic speech demagoguery, I believe. Never bothered to see what that song is actually about - Vietnam veterans abandoned by their own government and country, as the America they grew up in is decaying into the Rust Belt.
