I no longer like dollarvigilante seeing he resteemed this garbage of a post! Some of these supposed unpatriotic types are welcomed to move to france and venezuela! Right now they dont care much about their countries patriotism so enjoy. :)
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
It.BLOWS.MY.MIND that those with whom I share this country lick the boots of authority---completely blind to the fact that the founding of this nation was by revolutionaries against the so called authorities of the culture that raised them. Larken talks and writes like the founders did, repudiating bogus authority, condemning 'the rule of law' and condemning 'order' and 'orders' that violate the freedom of the individual.
How surreal, like an episode of twilight zone, being lectured on "PATRIOTSIM" by the very people who would have been supporting the troops and enlisting with the Redcoats to put down the radicalized liberty extremists who founded this nation.
You and the author of this shit post, and many of the commentators here, have completely failed to understand what patriotism is. Patriotism is not loving the government or authority, it's loving the country. Newsflash: You can hate the government and love your country at the same time.
Being a patriot, celebrating independence, and waving the american flag does not equal loving the government or agreeing with all military decisions of the past.
yessir........Freedom is a state of mind and a process I believe. I'm going to need you to become my comment editor. well put
Fail! You're the one licking boots of an anarchist, so therefore he does not speak or sound like the revolutionaries for which you mentioned. Now thats blindness. Do a lil research next time before easily getting twitterpated over some measly words that touched your heart strings.
A few relevant, choice words from the founder of the Nazi Gestapo:
"Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship… Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
Well why do you see this post as garbage? I don't think what he said touches any inch of his patriotism to the irony of the situation is how I see it is that this post is the ultimate patriotic I've read in a long time because it doesn't address one nationality and it was written for all nationalities and segments of people من كل حدب و صوب
(sorry for writing the last phrase in Arabic it's just I could not find an expression like it in English but it briefly means everywhere)
