Patriotism
When did the unquestioning support of a politician’s actions become the definition of patriotism? For that matter, when did the definition of patriotism become the unquestioning obedience to a political party?
To hear the left talk today failure to mindlessly support the party in control is treason. Some in Congress have actually had the unmitigated gall to call conservatives traitors for legitimate policy disagreements.
I submit to you those who support this proposition have little understanding of this great nation’s history and even less understanding of the Constitution. BO himself has called for those who disagree with him to shut up.
Do you remember when those on the left claimed that disagreeing with the president was the most patriotic thing they could do? Our elected officials swore to protect and defend the Constitution against “ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC” Failure to do so is not patriotic, it is treason.
Have we become a nation of lemmings? I fear for the future of this nation if our citizens continue with this unquestioning obedience to any politician or political party.
Our founders must be rolling over in their graves today. This administration and Congress have failed to follow the Constitution. They have, in fact, displayed scorn when questioned about the Constitutionally of their actions. SanFranNan, instead of providing a clear answer when asked where the authority for the takeover of the health care system, the questioner if he was serious.
This administration and Congress has demonstrated their lack of regard for the Constitution and the rule of law. They have demonstrated their contempt for the citizen who dares disagree with them. They have branded conservatives political terrorists. It is time we tell them to start looking for a new job.
