PATRIOTISM

***Copied from a FB Post by another author**

Having your Patriotism Questioned along with your Oath to Defend the Constitution Questioned by a Liberal Democrat who condemns the actions of one party but ignores the same and worse actions of their own party for political gain, as well as supports ignoring the Constitution and Federal Laws when it comes to Illegal Immigrants, supporting the theft of hard-working U.S. Taxpayer Money to give to said Illegal Immigrants is amusing to say the least.

When you swear an oath to the Constitution or you live in America under that Constitution and her Federal Laws, you do not choose which part you protect and which parts you ignore. By doing so you undermine the Constitution and the Laws of the United States, rendering them null and void.

As for Patriotism ... the true patriotism, the only rational patriotism, is loyalty to the Nation ALL the time, loyalty to the Government when it deserves it. — Mark Twain, American writer (from The Czar’s Soliloquy, 1905)

"Only limited and carefully defined powers should be delegated to government, all others being retained by the people."

Discriminating against individual’s rights and Liberties for any reason, including your vaccinated status, political beliefs or religious beliefs, means you should probably step back and take a look at yourself in the mirror and question your Oath to the Constitution and your Patriotism to the Nation.

Believing Safety of the Masses over the Liberty of the Individual is more important or that Individuals must bow down to Government Control without questioning it, means you didn't learn what the Constitution actually stands for or what our Founding Fathers stood for. You don't understand why the Revolution happened, or you have lost sight of why Early Americans Revolted and shed their blood to become this great nation.

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." -- Patrick Henry, speech of June 5 1788

Patriotism isn't to a political party, or to a government, it is to your State and Federal Constitutions and the Nation, this Republic we call the United States. To the Liberty, Freedom and Inalienable Individual Rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

"The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood; and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle; or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men. — Samuel Adams, American Patriot and Politician of the American Revolution (Essay under the pseudonym “Candidus,” in The Boston Gazette, October 14, 1771)"

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it. — Abraham Lincoln, 16th U.S. President (March 4, 1861, First Inaugural Speech)

I am a Constitutionalist first and always, not a Republican nor Democrat. My Oath to Defend the Constitution and this Nation from Tyranny or a Corrupt Government is not or will ever be in Questioned. My Patriotism is to my Nation and to its Constitution, the entire Constitution as it is written, not a politically interpretation of it.

Nope, my Patriotism nor my Oath is not in question, not now, nor ever...

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” -- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it"
