Re: "I'm a Patriot.....first, last and always...." >>> That's what everyone says... but it looks more like you are a 'nationalist', not an American 'patriot' because you fail to embrace the essential principles of American Democracy, defined in our Constitution: >>> "A wonderful Southern scholar, Dr. Clyde Wilson, has defined the difference between patriotism and nationalism. A patriot, he says, loves his land and his people; a nationalist loves his government." >>> "A true conservative supports the Constitution and does not support anybody or anything that violates it. Some people have said there is a resemblance between America today and the Weimar Republic, which eventually produced Adolf Hitler. I think there is some truth to that comparison. There are an awful lot of heel-clickers who swoon with admiration for any politician willing to bomb some foreigners. These same people are more than willing to trade liberty (which they make little use of anyway) for security. That is not conservatism." Message 19028103
