It is tough to be a patriot. By definition a patriot is one who loves and loyally defends his country. That definition I believe includes defending our Constitution and National Sovereignty. It also includes defending and protecting our way of life against all enemies and our boarders against invasion. How many people who fit this definition do you know? A patriot is not afraid to put his hand over his heart when the flag passes by, he is not afraid to recite the Pledge of Allegiance loud and proud. He is not afraid to tell a passing soldier, “thank you for your service to our country”, and he is not afraid to support our President in his efforts to protect us from terrorists. Yes, it is tough to be a patriot when all around you to be so is considered out of step, when the Hollywood elite gaze down their supercilious noses, when the Constitution is considered old and outdated and when any expression of Patriotism is considered immature and lacking sophistication.
Well, I am a patriot. Jane Fonda is not, John Murtha is not, John Kerry is not, Ted Kennedy is not, Bill and Hillary Clinton are not, the Hollywood elite are not and those who sit idly by while their country is at war are not. A patriot takes time to check facts rather than believe the talking heads on the television or the pre-programmed major media who by the way are owned by the liberal establishment.
My question to you the reader is where are you. Are you a patriot, or are you one of those who believe we are the bad guys and that this country is way passed its best years?
