Being "Patriotic"

Being "Patriotic"

The New Oxford American Dictionary, which defines ‘patriot’ as “a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors.”

There’s that phrase again-- ‘defending against enemies.’

Who exactly are these ‘enemies’, by the way? Are they men in caves who hate us for our freedom? Arab teenagers with intense sexual angst and a collection of firearms?

No. The real enemies are not foreign… but domestic. It is the apparatus of (the psychopaths of) government itself that has collapsed.

It’s not unpatriotic to lament how far a government’s practices have diverged from sanity.

It’s not unpatriotic to want to be free of govt and its heavy hand.

And it’s not unpatriotic to take steps to make that happen.

In fact, people who think it’s everyone’s patriotic duty to pay taxes are only feeding the beast that enslaves them. And it’s entirely delusional to think that all of this can change by going to a voting booth.

There’s no politician that’s going to change this.

Nobody is going to stand on stage and say, “My plan is to eliminate entire departments of government, fire all government workers, terminate social security, and default on the debt to the international bankers.”

Elections are pointless charades. But rather than vote for new people, we can simply vote to restrict the resources they have available.

And for anyone who truly cares to defend the American People from its domestic enemies, starving the beast is one of the most powerful tools you have available.
