patriot    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (ptr-t, -t)
n.

One who loves, supports, and defends one's country.

You know, given that most of the far left liberals (the flag burners, the protestors, the pride parade marchers, the anti-war, anti-bush, anti- american shehanites, those who oppose the majority (regardless of issue)) have the most to lose from the loss of America - the left wingers should be the biggests patriots around.  If our country were to fall to another government (God forbid) the liberal population would most likely be erradicated within days....because the type of BS they pull in our country isn't allowed inside of most governements. 

Given this assumption, I can only acertain that the liberal community has no doubt in their mind that we will prevail.  We will prevent the spead of islamic facism, fend off terrorist, and protect against any other outside force which would change our way of life.  If they, the liberal community, actually thought that we would lose....they would have to sing a different tune...be more conservative, more supportive.  Because a liberal has the most to lose.  We conservatives are often the ones that quitly work outside of the spot light...getting things done...not bitching and not having the unexplicable free time to protest for days on end.  We don;t walk out and stage a "Day without tax-paying legal citizens of the US"  We don't camp out on the lawn of the Ketchup Empire (John Kerry reference) and protest anti-Bushism.  The conservatives of the country don't throw camoflage or paint on those who wear anti-american clothing or walk our street bearing other nations flags. 

I do enjoy my freedoms, but I also understand the responsiblity that comes with those freedoms.  I have made the sacrifice to defend our freedoms.  One of the freedoms which I feel is most important and one that is at the top of the list that I fight to protect is the freedom to disagree.  While this may seem contradictory to my blog, I feelthat it is important to have debate, and discussion....but I think that most protests take advantage of the rights and do not take responsiblity.  I think a responsible person would give credit where credit is due....would say that the soldier, not the lawyer gives us freedoms....and that soldier not that lawyer protects those freedoms.  And I do not think it should be only the soldier who takes responsibility for those freedoms which everyone, especially those who push the envelope of freedom, enjoy.
