User blog:Psychopathotical/Josh's Unpopular Opinion 2- The meaning of Patriotism

{DISCLAIMER}- You are allowed to disagree with me. But please be civil in doing so. There is nothing personal against anybody here, and I encourage debate. Don't get pissed with me for my opinion.

This July 4th, I would like to remind you Americans at the lack of patriotism in your country.

Why did you even bother revolting? Everything you had! It was so great! But now you have gone and thrown it all all away in the face of authority.

Your founding fathers had a perfect society in mind. No Taxes, Property Rights, a Constitution which overruled any other laws and protected your freedoms from the face of fascists or communists or any other authoritarian regime.

Not only do you have people calling for gun bans and buybacks, people calling for speech to be censored and for increased police regulation and surveillance, such as the Patriot Act. People are now so persuasive that they can convince you that you don't need your own freedoms.

This is not patriotism. Patriotism is not sticking a 'Thin Blue Line' bumper sticker onto your car. Patriotism is not allowing your freedoms to be taken from you. The land of the free should stay free, at all costs.

'When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty'

I urge that you protect your freedoms, and this independence day, I want you to remember why you are independent.

I want you to remember that the government today is not the government that they clim to be. This is nowhere near 1776. It is closer to 1984.
