Aside from disparate treatment of left and right and black and white in our mainstream discourse, there's also a difference in the basic narrative provided. The narrative from the Right - and its representatives in the conservative religious community - is of an America which was once the garden of Eden, until its tragic fall at the hands of (feminists, liberals, civil rights movement, whatever), and they wish to bring the country back to its former state. Thus they can hate the America that is while dreaming of the perfect America that was. Thus there's no conflict between their unquestioned patriotism and their hatred of the country, as their patriotism is for the True America that was, not its current corrupted incarnation.
While the mirror image rhetoric from the Left is about a country which was flawed, often tragically so, but which has the capacity for improvement. Be disgusted with the country as it was and is, while hoping for an evolution to a better country.

Leftist bunk, the worst kind.
Leftist bunk, the worst kind.
I watched the speech and have spent hours now reading the transcript. In many ways it is the same thing I have heard in different packages for the past 40 years. I find it absolutely amazing that when people speak of racism it nearly always concerns white vs black and almost never the other way around. I have spent a good deal of my life from marching with Dr. King to being a community assistance person. I have been called all manner of names but why is it that while in the black part of Cleveland, Chicago and Los Angeles I have been mugged and robbed in each of those cities. I am a disabled person, an amputee, readily viewable when I walk? This has never happened in any other community in my experience. Yet not a single word about how black people should accept the idea that "whites" does not mean all whites. Nor does ancestry give a person the right to take another persons rights away. As long as I hear the terms Black or white in the beginning of a persons statement I will realize that abject racism and hatred grow from these self proclaimed victims of discriminatory behavior.
