wannabe patriotism 

A movement that began the day after 9/11: Thousands of people who normally could care less about America suddenly decided to post flags and the words 'God Bless America' on every inch of their property. This led to the sickening influx of flags on houses, cars, beach towels, trailers, etc., as well as the moronic attempt to rid our culture of everything that originally came from some other place.
Thankfully, wannabe patriotism isn't as rampant as it was a year ago, but it's still out there...
