Calling yourself a Patriot has nothing to do with the Alamo. Not a damn one of those men called themselves Patriots. Cite me a reference if I'm wrong. > Those willing to > fight for the Texas cause were asked to cross that line. In short, > those willing to fight for a cause determine their own place in > history. The Mexican's fought and won that battle. And "the cause"? To grab land? Might makes right? The winner gets to write the history? > My Dictionary defines patriot: "One who loves his country, > and zealously guards its welfare; especially a defender of popular > liberty." Doesn't sound like guarding to me... well, maybe guarding what you want to guard of it. > If my spending fourteen plus years of my life writing my > New Constitution to SAVE the USA doesn't qualify as patriotism, I > don't suppose anyone can qualify. — John A. Armistead — Patriot! What it qualifies you as, is self proclaiming and self serving. It doesn't save anything, much less the US. Any Constitution written by one person is not a Constitution at all, it's Mein Kampf. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
