I’ll be honest, I’m not patriotic to the United States of America. I’m patriotic to the concept of individual rights and freedoms. When the United States of America was a vessel to carry those rights and freedoms to every American, I was patriotic to it. When it became hostile to those rights and freedoms, I stopped being patriotic to it. Where the United States of America has embraced an ideology in contravention of those principles, reaching more and more into the surveillance state and seeking every means of control, i.e., food distribution, energy rationing, electrical grid manipulation, capturing and enslaving children in indoctrination centers, the mind control and even genocide that has lately been exposed, I reject it completely and in every way.
I don't remember the time or date, but one day I had an epiphany.... the United States was not the 'Good Guy'! Until then it was, "Well, they must have had a good reason to do what they did." I was a Vet. I saluted the flag when it was marched by. I was naive. But the fog cleared and I became enlightened. I see all that you do, T.L. It may not be much I can realistically do in opposition but I do what I can when I can down to simple non-compliance like entering a government building through the exit door and leaving through the entry door. Anything. Today is the forcefully celebrated MLK Day. Not to me. Today is General Robert E. Lee's birthday! The Virginia State Flag and the Stars & Bars are proudly displayed on front of the house. Thats non-compliance. Its a small thing, I know. But I relish in it! The Republic as we would wish it to be is gone, but it didn't just happen. It really happened on April 9, 1865 in the little village not far from me - Appomattox. Thats when the Feds began rubbing our noses in it with "Reconstruction" and thats when the Feds discovered they could do it and get away with it and they have ever since. Now they do it to the entire country. We did our best back then. But once they began burning the fields and starving the women and children that was the end. Now they are doing it again. Pay attention to the dwindling food supplies.
You are correct, as usual. The United States of America now exists in name only. It has always been a state of mind more than anything. Now those of us who have that mindset are very much in the minority. Very likely to be persecuted for that, but it doesn't seem like any of us have the backbone to do anything about it. Perhaps sometime in the future there will again be enough people of like mind to create a new country of free individuals. But not here, not now it would seem. People who are not willing to fight for their freedom don't deserve it.
The United States, and its Constitution, are intact. We have elected governments of the US and several states which would like to avoid American law and traditions. They won't succeed. I saw a US map recently showing pub and dem precincts. The map was almost entirely red except a few enclaves, mostly west coast and northeast. We might find a map useful with pink for rinos. There are some dems who aren't seditious, but they all work in lockstep, so they're all the same, functionally. But those governments aren't America. America is all those red precincts. The government is a temporary problem, one we can correct at the next election, if we do thecwork. But the more permanent and more difficult problem is they're supported, in lockstep so far, by about half the country. If you want to fix these problems, don't look at Washington, look at your neighbors. If you can't convince them, you probably can't defeat them. Best approach in that case is to adapt.
Until you stated it, I had forgotten that MTG had been swatted 3 times. Those pictures all over social media with her all over McCarthy made me want to puke. But, it makes a lot of sense now.
When there is no longer a "nation" ot "republic" to preserve then it opens up lot's of questions and opinions. Removing a society's Stable Datum, even a corrupt one, is disorienting & unstabling.
We need to Define an Ideal Scene for our society as well as a benign benefivial government locally then expanded as feasable.
The Original Constitution with 10 Amendments would be a good foundation and pruning of the Feral overgrowth. But that is for later because this USSASystem has to die first. It is gone, the currency is worthless, the debt is unimaginably unpayable. Time to Cut Bait and Move On.
My post for 1/19/23 will be "Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow." and gives credit to this posting of yours. All the best to you and your future endeavors.
EXCELLENT COMMENTARY AND TRUTH!
I think about your words every, single day!
Denial is not a river in Egypt. Accept and ADAPT! “WE” are up to the plate, now.

T.L,

TLD,
Oh yes. A coup indeed, invasion and inversion of all that is good and decent.
Things got worse in the US every single day under O. I think he is behind B, and
laughing his *ss off. It is a flat out miserable situation to live through. People
can not fathom the evil of their fellow man. Shite will get real when everyone is broke,
and starving in the dark. Where has honesty and integrity gone to? Bribery and blackmail
seem to be the currency and many try to out do their fellows by cooperation with this
murdering and thievery. They want a seat at the table, but I do not think that will be achieved.
Useless liars and cheats don't get a seat at the billionaire table. They ultimately get trashed
when their usefulness expires. Least I hope so/small consolation, but better than nothing.
