"Patriots or Phonies"

Every year at the same time we hear about 9 11 and everybody suddenly becomes patriotic. Are they really patriotic or are they phony. I say this because most people does not think about 9 11 until 9 11 gets here. They do not think about the 3400 people who lost their lives. They do not think about all the rights we have lost in the name of terrorism and all the rights that we are in the process of losing in the name of terrorism. I could be wrong but it seems to me that if Americans were really as patriotic as they claim to be they would not allow Muslims to march in Washington DC while our own government authority denies permits for American citizens to do the same. If Americans were really as patriotic as they claim to be, why would they allow Muslims in full head garb to walk right past metal detectors and screening processes at airports while our veterans and returning soldiers, civilians and other Americans are patted down, searched and molested by TSA agents. If Americans were really as patriotic as they claim to be, why would they allow a president to remain in office who repeats the holy quran and says the Azan, "Muslim call to worship" is the best thing that a person could hear in the morning. If Americans were really as patriotic as they claim to be, why would they allow a President to remain in office that cancels the National Day of Prayer and says America is no longer a Christian nation.  If Americans were really as patriotic as they claim to be, why would they allow The President and Government of the United States of America to fund, support, and send weapons to our enemies. The very terrorist that our government wants to protect us from so bad that we can't carry shampoo on an airplane, or walk through an airport without being fondled. The same terrorist who are the reason why the NSA steals phone records and personal emails and other information from millions of  Americans. The same terrorist who our great American troops have fought against and many died fighting. You may call these Americans Patriotic on 9 11 each year, but i call them a bunch of phonies.

"Rights or Privileges"

What is our Constitution, what does the Constitution mean and who does the Constitution apply to? Our Constitution of the United States of America was put in place by our founding fathers. Our founding fathers created the Constitution to make sure that our country was never ran by a tyrannical government. Liberals are always attacking the Constitution and talking about negative Liberty. There is no such thing as a negative Liberty. We all strive for liberty and freedom and thats what makes us a great nation. How can Liberty and Freedom be negative? People have the freedom and liberty to achieve anything they want to achieve in life and in the pursuit of happiness. These negative liberties they are referring to are the amendments that limit the power of government. The First Amendment, gives us the freedom of speech and it also tells what the government can and can't do to be or not be in violation of our freedom of speech. The 2nd amendment gives Americans the right to bear arms. It also tells what the government can and can't do to be or not be in violation of our right to bear arms and so on and so on.. To them, these are considered negative Liberties because it limits government from infringing upon our natural God given rights. The average joe, doesn't understand the difference between a privilege and a right and are quick to shove their rights down the drain to obtain privileges given by government. An example of this would be, ( Well you have a right to bear arms, but in order to carry your firearm you need a permit ) So now, this is saying if you get a permit you will have a privilege to carry your firearm. This is already your right, but you are abiding by a law that is not truly a law and throwing away your right to obtain a privilege. The Constitution applies to all American citizens no matter their race, sex, or religion. The Constitution limits Government from stealing your rights, but the Government goes and makes amendments to give them false authority to take your rights and replace them with privileges that are interpreted laws to extort money from you when you don't comply. We are allowing the government to govern themselves when it is 100% We The People's duty to govern them. This is like letting the fox patrol the hen house to keep other foxes out. Or when the foxes get in and eat the hens, we leave it up to the foxes that ate the hens to punish themselves for eating the hens. This just does not work! Its time we inform our youth about what the constitution really means and that its not just some old outdated paper that isn't cool. Its our past, our present, and our future!
