I am a patriot. When I joined the Marines, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign AND domestic.
It is an American's right to disagree with his or her government.
It's our DUTY to vote for that government.
It was my privilage to serve in the Corps.
Semper Fi
btw, pts don't mean sh%t unless it counts for something.

yes, I am a patriot.
This country has a lot of faults, which will make anyone with a heart to grieve: but it still is one of the best on earth, and one of the best in the history of governments. If it wasn't, you'd have people trying to sneak OUT, not trying to sneak IN. Our Consitution was based upon the Bible; and though the Constitution has been changed from time to time, and not always properly understood or applied, still it is an amazing document.
One of the things the writers of the Constitution took into account, when writing it, was human nature. They knew that there will always be people who enjoy taking advantage of good people, and that good people tend to be a little slow to pick up on that -- so they made allowances for ordinary people to petition the government, and to protect themselves. From time to time, we HAVE to fight to defend ourselves. Whether it's fighting with votes, against people who don't think long-term, or with guns against people who disregard our basic beliefs, we have to expect assault on our freedoms, and remember they are worth defending.

definite. A revolution in body of innovations in the direction of want and greed. With the opt to guard your self and community. The crumple of the U. S. Empire below the burden of its debt will go away human beings sitting round waiting in ineffective for the nanny state to rescue them. (or fox / ccn information tell them what to do) Be prepared for change.

Ok..Ok... A hard core patriot I am... dedicated to the protection of the country and (especially) the constitution.... against all enemies foreign and domestic. So now how do I (legally) fight domestic enemies operating under color of law... aka crooked lying politicians, and corrupt bureaucrats? Hmmmm?

Of course, but is this protecting our Constitution or protecting what's left after these corrupt whackos in office tore it up and redefined it. By corrupt I mean lobbying, in Africa it's called corruption but in the US it's lobbying where democracy is bypassed and groups like AIPAC define US policy by buying off politicians. I'd fight for our nation, but not for any other who's filled the pockets of our "leaders" with money.

The fight for freedom is at home now. Join the ACLU. All of our foreign conflicts could be resolved by isolationism.
