FALSE PATRIOTS

[rhett o rick]

Patriotism is defined as devotion to the welfare of one's country. Nowhere in the definition does it speak of flag lapel pins, magnetic car emblems, nor hanging a flag on the front of your house. But that is how some narrow minded people define patriotism. You see it is so much simpler.

False Patriot: “I wear a flag pin therefore I am a patriot”.
Questioner: “So how do you feel about your government eavesdropping on your phone calls and emails?”
FP: “That’s complicated, and I refuse to think about it. Did I mention I have flag in front of my house?”
Q: “Do you believe idiots should be allowed to vote?”
FP: “Huh?”
Q: “Never mind, go back to your patriotic Budweiser (or Coors).”

Our founding fathers founded this country to be free of aristocratic tyranny. A true patriot would is required to be aware enough to fight attempts by unscrupulous groups that try to establish aristocratic tyrannies. A true patriot stands by the Constitution and is willing to fight to the death against those that try to eliminate the freedoms established by the Constitution. Someone famous said, “Give me liberty or give me death”. Now that was a true patriot. Wonder if he had a lapel pin.

The Con’s don’t like democracy because it gives the lowlife people too much power. The top Con, G.W.Bush himself said that government would be so much easier to run for a dictator. Sadly the Con’s find it way to easy to motivate the gullibles. You see the gullibles need simple tests to determine right or wrong, good or bad. So the con’s help them out. For example, if you wear a lapel pin…good, if you don’t…bad. That’s about as deep thinking the gullibles want to do.

Here’s a test to see if you’ve been paying attention.

A person burns an American flag. Is that person patriot or not?
(a) No, they should be sent to Guantanamo.
(b) Yes they are a patriot.
(c) Need more information

Of course (c) is the answer. They could be burning the flag because it was old and damaged and they were following the patriotic flag edicate. Also, if the person is doing so to show “devotion to the welfare of one's country”, in protest of the tyranny our fore fathers fought and died against.
