RE: Our unique patriotism - Thoughts on the conflicts to come
I agree Art - ( or "Joe" as it were basis your effin' crazy-ass sky-dive... haha)... Rather than lock, stock, and barrel (off-the-current-shelf) "patriotism," which is most obviously manipulated and twisted out of context to no end these days, how about considering TRUE "patriotism" - as it were, as the disciplined adherence to a simple set of natural laws, which are clearly defined in the constitution, bill of rights, and declaration of independence, that it was intended to be. All of which, have obviously been abandoned most treasonously...
Given such reality, I can agree with you on the one front that - yes, indeed ... "fuck the current lean toward this false patriotism narrative," however, there is a truer definition thereof that most certainly requires respect of the utmost. Do give it some deep thought and see where you arrive thereafter... Much love, brother...
My Life, My Liberty, My Property, My Pursuit to Be...........
Thank you for bringing that up @passion-ground. In my in my experience and frustration I pulled toward "fuck the bullshit", but you make a great point.
The truer sense of patriotism that you speak of I wholly support, and will stand for that until death, maybe even after. However, that is not really what I hear people talk about. I hear people say dumb shit like, "If you don't support today's bullshit then you ain't 'Merican. 'MURICA!!!!!!"
......Uh........When people so proudly holler this I always think, "Okay.....North or South?" and that just confuses people where I come from. lol
Have a great day brother!
I'm with you on that 100% brother! Thanks for tossing that into the mix, man!
