Patriots? Of what?

The flag?

The current leadership?

The ideal of what we were decades ago?

Of what god wanted us to be?

When we will become patriots of ourselves and stop putting groups above us?

Then this IDIOCRACY will collapse under it's own weight of bullshit. Lighter without parasitic load, we can finally take care of the issues they ignored for decades.

Few things upset me as much as when my fellow countrymen gloat about how "free" we are. I have to be careful around this holiday with the whiskey because my anarcho-patriotism eventually comes out in full force.

I was as patriotic as anyone else UNTIL my country TURNED ON ME! I’m sorry but I’d be happy eating bald eagle on a stick today and burning the damned flag myself! Freedom is nonexistent in the good ole USA!

I think that the government of the USA has turned into a mishmash of collectivism, authoritarianism, despotism, tyranny and warfare being waged by psychopaths.

While this one did sting a little, thank you for making the video and doing the research. Still the best country on Earth tho.

The men who wrote "We the people", were business men, property owners. The U.S. they referred to did not include everyone, it did not include women, slaves, or renters. Washington was selected to be their leader because of the fine work he did as a real estate broker putting together the deals necessary to build the canals that allowed for the furtherance of commerce in the north/east. Their right to govern the plebeians was as much a fore-gone conclusion as was later codified in the right to complete their "manifest destiny".

To think that all their grand rhetoric was inclusive of the masses of laboring men is an assumption grounded in neither the history of their class nor present day manifestation of their machinations exhibited through the workings of their multi-national corporations.
