Time to stand

Patriotism is not just singing songs like the National Anthem or flying a flag in front of your house. Those things are great, but true patriotism in my opinion is a devotion that goes beyond all that stuff, and something you feel deep in your bones, and always in your heart. Its a feeling you feel in your mind and heart everytime you see a flag waving, a soldier who has been wounded, and funeral for a soldier who gave his life. That is just some of the things you need to have part of your personal patriotism. Your patriotism is not just a love for the country in which you live, but it also a hope that goes beyond just complaining about your government officials, or voting in elections. It should be about how much your willing to do for your country without thought of reward or accolades for yourself. Do you know what that patriotism is for yourself?
A true Patriot in my Opinion;

1. Understands not only the history of his country and what sacrifices have been made to establish his way of life
2. He also understands the sacrifices that men must make in order to preserve that way of life and defend it at all cost.
3. They realize that tyranny has laid it’s grasp upon the people and the laws of the land and it has corrupted the entire landscape across our nation.
4. They have learned these things slowly over the years as the evidence has become more and more prevalent.
5. They have learned of the treacherous deeds of government, and the corporate degenerates they have chosen to serve. 
6. They become angry and they seek to support the defense of our country in one way or another based on the constitutional call to defend the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.

Domestic enemies are growing by leaps and bounds on a daily basis, and we as the citizens of this nation need to take a stand against this kind of attack lest we fall as other nations have fallen to tyranny. We faced tyranny many times before and have defeated it for other nations around the world. Are we going to allow our nation to fall prey to this or are we going to stand

This nation was built on biblical principles and the notion of freedom. We were meant to be free, and we have fought for freedom for everyone else, and once again it seems we are going to have to fight for our own freedoms again. Are you ready to do your part?

Henry Ward Beecher

A thoughtful mind, when it sees a Nation's flag, sees not the flag only, but the Nation itself; and whatever may be its symbols, its insignia, he reads chiefly in the flag the Government, the principles, the truths, the history which belongs to the Nation that sets it forth.

George William Curtis

A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.

Samuel Adams

“If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” 

Napoléon Bonaparte

“The hand that gives is among the hand that takes. Money has no fatherland, financiers are without patriotism and without decency, their sole object is gain.” 

George S. Patton Jr.

“It is a proud privilege to be a soldier – a good soldier with discipline, self-respect, pride in his unit and his country, a high sense of duty and obligation to comrades and to his superiors, and a self confidence born of demonstrated ability.” 

“The soldier is the Army. No army is better than its soldiers. The Soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country”
