Whatever you want to call it.

Over the years, left wingers and SOCIALIST LIBERALS have redefined the meaning of Patriotism. This event happened sometime after perverting the meaning of "liberal" and creating a political philosophy of collectivism and installing a group think mentality that scorns the beliefs of individualism for the sake of "the greater good" - a common theme that you will hear at nearly every Democratic political campaign stop, and a thesis of every Democrat politician that is also utilized to justify tax increases. You hear it all the time: "we must act now to stop these Bush tax breaks for 'the greater good' of society" - and this is such a common theme that there is no need to even cite sources of origination because all Democrats tend to openly reveal their "common good" aspirations. This is the new age of liberalism at it's best, but understand that this is actually defined as "social liberalism" and has nothing to do with "classical liberalism" in philosophical works that you would have noted from the works of those such as Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Governor Morris. The social liberals stole the word liberal to attempt to create a "one size fits all" definition of American liberalism and combined the belief with a warped interpretation of Constitutionality, and now these liberals are attempting to steal the word patriotism in order to pervert this word as well! Perhaps it was no surprise when Barry Obama issued his own theory of patriotism lately, and the predictable response we got was another "for the greater good" speeches that stressed "faith in each other as Americans" over any recognizable need to offer devotion to your country. As expected, Barry's "faith in each other" argument is yet another example of social collectivism and has been classically orchestrated to strike at individualism (i.e. individual liberty, individual freedom) for the sake of group rights, group liberty, group security, group taxation of the most productive members of society, group think, and so on and so forth. Individuality seems to be the biggest threat to social liberalism (Lenin hated the concept of individuality too) and what could be more of a threat to the group-minded mentalities of liberals than an individual devotion to the country that you live in (damn those crazy right-winger NEOCONS!!!). With that being said, a devoted Democrat blogger gave a very clear indication of whom IS NOT patriotic, and his list clearly pointed to examples of what is and what is not patriotic. Clearly, according to this social liberal, you ARE NOT patriotic if you:

- Wear a lapel pin

- Hold devotion to the flag of the United States of America

- Support any political policy of an elected official that you voted for (especially a policy of national security)

- Support the security and sovereignty of the nation you live in

- Believe that the U.S. is the greatest nation on Earth

- If you are stupid enough to remember 9/11/01 (and if you learned a lesson from it!)

- If you support the troops fighting for this nation

- If you fight for this nation

- If you are white

By contrast and using the collectivist mantras of new age liberal Democrats, the liberal blogger indicated the obvious that YOU ARE patriotic if you.......

- if you refuse to openly express devotion to your nation

- if you hate the American flag

- if you openly demonstrate your unwillingness to defend your country against enemies

- if you are so afraid of defending your country that you resort to pacifying enemies to buy a little bit of time until your term is finished

- if you believe that we are inferior and weaker than every other nation on Earth. Big time points if you believe that the U.S. is the root of all problems in the world!

- if you believe that those lovable Muslim extremists are finished going after American interests

- if you hold a protest at the grave of a fallen soldier

- if you consider weakness to be a virtue

- if you illegally enter this nation or if you openly sponge off of taxpayer funded entitlement programs

- if you cried after Saddam Hussein was hung and then took it out on your unborn child by having an abortion

Yeah, yeah, the mods will probably delete my blog but it's been fun anyway.....
