Today’s Patriot

What a joke Patriotism has become in this country. People have died protecting our freedoms we just make a joke out of it by associating freedom to not wear a mask. This is a joke. I am not free if I have to wear a mask that will protect yourself and your neighbor? Really? That is an infringement on your freedom?  So all those soldiers fought and died overseas so you don’t have to wear a mask? More people are dying each day from the virus than were killed on 9/11. In less than one week more people die of the virus than were killed in Afghanistan and Iraq combined. I would think that Patriots would be fighting this virus instead of fighting people who just want to save lives.

Now a real Patriot should be appalled by what is happening with today’s politics. Our revolution was fought so we could have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. We were being taxed by the British Government and what we wanted was representation in that Government. “No Taxation Without Representation”. We were denied representation and we rebelled. We won our Independence and formed a government based on representation. The People elected their representatives. People’s right to choose who represents us is the foundation of our Government. When you have gerrymandering like they do in Wisconsin that creates a lack of representation in our Government, why are not the true Patriots protesting that? Representative government is what we fought our revolution for. Minority rule was not what those Patriots fought all those years ago. If you have to engage in voter suppression you do not deserve to win and do a disservice to all those that have died protecting our most precious right.

Because of voter suppression we are no longer the freest country in the world. In fact with everything going on we are probably not in the top ten. We have a Department of Justice that found no evidence of voter fraud. The head of our Cyber Security stated that this was our most secure election. But we have a President and a lot of Republicans saying that this election was stolen. We have White Supremists whose leader is a foreigner running around with guns protesting a fair election. What we really have is a group of people that want a Fascist government. That is what a one party system is, Fascism.

There are a number of things that could save this country. One is for the Church to call for an end to all forms of discrimination and that includes the discrimination against women. If you haven’t noticed, a lot of our so called Christians are in favor of a fascist state. This is not the first time the church has turned a blind eye to fascism. Not all Christians are fascists but fascism has always relied on religion. The State Supreme Courts and our Supreme Court needs to stop playing politics with our right to vote and start protecting it. When the rich have a larger voice than the poor then we need the Supreme Court to step in and make sure every voice is heard equally. Gerrymandering has to go. We also need to get money out of politics so that our politicians actually represent the people. Lobbying is just a form of bribery. We need that out of the election process and the politicians that are accepting bribes should be kicked out.

We really do need real Patriots to stand up and protect this country.

  Something I have written many times on social media is that when our Justice Department becomes a tool of the oppressor, we are losing our Democracy. Dictators have always used the Justice Department to oppress the people. Germany had its Gestapo and the SS, which were used to kill millions. Stalin had his NKVD, which would later become the KGB, that he used to kill millions and consolidate his power. China has its Chenguang, which is known for its violent methods. That is how things work in a country that is run by a dictator.   They use their personal Justice Departments to suppress and eliminate threats to their power. Is that now what is happening in this country? I swear, Trump wants to be just like the Communist and Fascist dictators. Trump seems to want to use our Justice Department more as his personal goon squad than a department that serves the people. He is starting with ICE. ICE is an agency that was formed after 9/11 and put under the Department of Homeland Se...

  We are a fascist state when we have ICE agents not in uniforms and hiding their faces behind masks. That is right. We have a law enforcement agency that is running around more like the Gestapo of Nazi Germany than what we are supposed to have and what is valued in America. We are sending not only undocumented immigrants but also asylum seekers and foreigners on student visas to detention camps here and on foreign soil. They are just being snatched off the streets with no due process. This is not the America I grew up in. This is nowhere to be found in the religion I learned and practiced in my youth. This is like fascism. Every day, we seem to hear the term “Extreme Left Judges.” It doesn’t matter whether it is a judge appointed by a Republican president or a Democratic president. If that judge disagrees with any of Trump's executive orders, he or she is being branded as a “Radical Judge”. These so-called “Rogue Judges” are being attacked by much of the Republican Party besides...

  Every elected official swears an oath to defend the Constitution. Not a party. Not a President, nor any individual. Not a social media following. They swear an oath to the Constitution. They take these oaths of their own free will. No one pointed a gun at their head to seek the office that requires obedience not to a leader but to a document that is our Constitution. What I wonder all the time is how someone can take that oath and then so easily break it. The saddest thing is that it is just all too common. So common that many people don’t notice, and so common that many people don’t care. Here are some very common things that elected officials have done that are actually a violation of their oath. Trying to overturn an election. Pressuring state officials to change election results. Voting to throw out certified votes without evidence. Lying to the public about things they know are not true and using their office to help themselves instead of the country. You don’t need a law de...
