It is the exact opposite of patriotism and someone should be calling them out on it again and again.
I know these assholes are small minded, but one would think that no party would want to set this type of precedent.

It's not small minded. It's actual quite expansionist. The modern GOP has lost all sense of boundaries.
Somewhere, George Schultz and H.W. Bush are lamenting this letter in private conversations. This shit would never have happened in their days in office. Blame it on the internet or the volatility of the day, or whatever, but the GOP is no longer behaving like a political party. They're behaving like a political ISIS... Whatever means are necessary, none barred under any circumstances.
These are calculating nihilists. They know the demographics doom them going forward, and so are playing a nuclear hand on every issue. Total war -- exactly as McConnell swore it'd be the day Obama took office.
