In my opinion.... a Patriot is one who believes as those who fought British rule to take us from what our Founding Fathers had escaped to give to us a NEW FREEDOM, a NEW COUNTRY.... an ideal whereby one who believed that the fruits of his/her labor would be rewarded without the interference or the intervention of a govt to take it from him!
For our fathers "brought forth to this continent, a New Nation, conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal!"
NOW, we are faced with Liberals who wish to declare the same govt controls for which our fathers sacrificed so much to escape should be redeployed here in America! Their ideals are not those of individual reward for dedication of hard work ethics. Rather, they are the ideals of the selfish and slothful of ignorance and laziness to be rewarded in its sickness of delusive and idle arrogance!
They listen to those who wish only to control them with the promise of "cradle to grave" design of their lives. They follow like sheep... for they are afraid of self worth... and they should be, for they have none! These are NOT American People... they are not the ones who stand tall against chains of slavery! They have no ideas other than to cowardly follow those of who can shout the loudest or make the...

Patrick Henry risked his life when he stood on the steps of the Richmond, Virginia Courthouse and boldly proclaimed.... "I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me Liberty.... or give me death!"
Today, our govt bends over backwards to those from the OWS who will raid our children’s art exhibits in Oakland, saying that such sacrifice to the cause of destroying Capitalism is but "collateral damage!" They are but only the New World Order to spread the wealth earned by those who have gone before them!
Today’s Patriot is ME.. and anyone who will rise up and declare... We will NOT allow this to happen, We will stand with Patrick Henry... we will stand with Thomas Jefferson... we will stand with George Washington!!! We will not retreat, we will NEVER forget what they did for us and what we will damn sure do for our children.... and our children’s' children.... so help us God!
We are the one’s willing to carry the Love of Country forward! We are PATRIOTS!

“I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” Barry Goldwater
These statists, Democratic Socialists in the current vernacular, would have you believe that they are the "true patriots," and only they deserve to be the arbiters of Liberty. To grasp their extent of their distorted view of patriotism, consider Barack Hussein Obama's rationale for higher taxes to fund more government growth this week. Obama had the audacity to suggest, "This sense of responsibility -- to each other and to our country -- isn't a partisan feeling. It's patriotism."
Caveat emptor: As George Washington implored in his Farewell Address, "Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism."
Liberty, as affirmed through natural law, is an abject affront to Socialists, who can claim dominion over others only if they supplant Rule of Law with their own rule. For such statists, the notion of serving...

Liberty, as affirmed through natural law, is an abject affront to Socialists, who can claim dominion over others only if they supplant Rule of Law with their own rule. For such statists, the notion of serving a higher purpose than oneself is enigmatic; consequently, there is a raging ideological battle between Democratic Socialists and Patriots across our nation today.
"The Constitution, which at any time exists 'till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole People, is sacredly obligatory upon all." --George Washington
1590s, "compatriot," from M.Fr. patriote (15c.), from L.L. patriota "fellow-countryman" (6c.), from Gk. patriotes "fellow countryman," from patrios "of one's fathers," patris "fatherland," from pater (gen. patros) "father," with -otes, suffix expressing state or condition. Meaning "loyal and disinterested supporter of one's country" is attested from c.1600, but became an ironic term of ridicule or abuse from mid-18c. in England, so that Johnson, who at first defined it as "one whose ruling passion is the love of his country," in his fourth edition added, "It is sometimes used for a factious disturber of the government."
The name of patriot had become [c.1744] a by-word of derision. Horace Walpole scarcely exaggerated when he said that ... the most popular declaration which a candidate could make on the hustings was that he had never been and never would be a patriot. [Macaulay, "Horace Walpole," 1833]
Somewhat revived in reference to resistance movements in overrun countries in WWII, it has usually had a positive sense in Amer.Eng., where the phony and rascally variety has been consigned to the word patrioteer (1928). Oriana Fallaci ["The Rage and the Pride," 2002] marvels that Americans, so fond of pa...

Oriana Fallaci ["The Rage and the Pride," 2002] marvels that Americans, so fond of patriotic, patriot, and patriotism, lack the root noun and are content to express the idea of patria by cumbersome compounds such as homeland. (Joyce, Shaw, and H.G. Wells all used patria as an English word early 20c., but it failed to stick.)
Why don't you learn to write coherent sentences. They teach English in Canada don't they ?
Nobody heard of Horace Walpole nor do they give a crap who he is.
USA ! USA !USA !
Karmic Payback
Terrorism has existed for decades....going back well into last century. it is nothing new. people like you don't want to confront it. lame. wimpy. subservient. go ahead and try to appease the extremist muslims....see how far that gets you.
they hate you just as much as they hate me. they would just assume slice your throat as they would mine.
are you seeing that they are taking over Europe ? much of Europe will be Islamic in 15-20 years. that's multiculturalism for you ! they gave them welfare and they are creating babies like crazy. they are taking over ! they believe their religion is superior to yours so you will have to convert !
America has helped too many countries. we should leave you alone to your own devices. I am personally tired of helping other countries out. buy your own army !
I am sure you need to get back to your tele and bow down to your royals.....who are living quite the lifestyle you will never see !
What you did in Teheran with the Brits 59 years ago this month led directly to whats happening there today & the prodigious money you pay FREELY to the Saudis (recall OPEC? 39 years ago) is where essentially ALL of the financing for the Islamic Colonization of Europe is a coming from. If you weren''t here for those, keep in mind, You're your Parent's Child & therefore accountable.
You (& your ancestors) made your your bed, can you sleep easy?
Note to self....you need oil to power things like cars so people can get to work. Most people have to work for a living to pay for things. May be in the fantasy land you live in you don't notice these things or may be you live off the fruit of others and the government pays you to not work. I make my own way. God wants us to be enterprising and do something with our lives.
I am all for drilling and/or using the Keystone Pipeline and not buying from the Saudis but the crazed environmentalists have the government wrapped around their finger. They have no science to back their fanatical claims.
59 years ago ? Iran has always been, and may always be, a nation of radical islamists. may be if the people can topple this awful government they have a chance to lead a normal life.
the colonization of Europe is happening because of political correctness. they let them get away with it. weak government officials were afraid to enforce their laws from the get go. THEY have to sleep in the bed THEY made. they seem to be regretting it now.
Countries like Kenya declared their independence in 1963 and have been free since then. they are in even worse shape than they used to be. spare me the colonization crap. the...

strange how some people think. America has done a lot more good for this world than bad. if it wasn't for us there would be a lot more wars. unhindered other countries would have the audacity to attack. right now they are still afraid of us getting involved. your welcome.
In a way, YOU'RE responsible for what Iran became today, not to mention funding most Radical Islam in the World by supporting the Saudi Royal Family.
If you're so Good, why does most of the World detest you?
Devoted to his/her (our) Country and Constitution.
Loyal to his/her fellow citizens and our way of life.
Unselfish - willing to sacrifice his/her personal wants and needs in support of the greater good.
Great post, U-Dog. Thanks!

George Washington, Patrick Henry ..
Omar Bradley, George Patton ..
Those who are not named .. but Served HONORABLY ..
a Patriot .. values their freedoms .. their blessings ..
knowingly stands up to be counted .. when the time comes and the need ..
you can trust them .. with your lives .. your thoughts .. your beliefs ..
you know they'll never turn back (nor harm you or your unit)
a individual .. who is willingly part of a TEAM ..
that is there for each other ..
wanting to come home again ..
(and very much concerned about the preservation of human life).
They have feelings, loves, ideas ..
but all of these are part of the unit too ..
it is the IDEAL .. the foundation that brought us together ..
to fight for what you believe in ..
a Patriot indeed ...
You made your bed…
