And patriotism taken a too far, in my book, is simply idol worship. Many worship the idea of this country and the American Dream. God's mercy is in waking us up from dreaming about things that are not eternal.

I agree. Politicians love to build monuments to themselves. We should remember and honor great ideas and great speeches rather than great monuments.
But anarchists have no right to tear them down. They did nothing to put them up. First comes monuments, then buildings, then ideas, then people. This is what the Hitler Fascists, the Mao Communists, the Lenin Marxists, and the Stalin Communists have also done. The goal is never a better country, but destruction of the current country, all to put these unelected people in charge.
