ARE YOU A PATRIOT?

ARE YOU AN AMERICAN?  WHETHER BORN HERE OR NATURALIZED, IT DOESN'T MATTER - DO YOU LOVE AMERICA?

THERE IS NO PLACE ON EARTH LIKE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  YES, THERE ARE OTHER NICE PLACES, FREE COUNTRIES, BEAUTIFUL TOPOGRAPHY, ETC., BUT AMERICA IS SPECIAL IN SO MANY WAYS.

AMERICA HAS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM!  People are free to attend the worship center of their choice - or not!  We carry or wear signs of our particular faiths, with respect to those who believe or practice differently!

AMERICA ALLOWS FREEDOM OF SPEECH!  While there are expected limits to what a person may say in regards to another individual or group, we can speak our minds on issues in government, whether local, state, or national - without fear of retribution.  Others don't have that blessing.

AMERICA IS A LAND OF OPPORTUNITY!  People sacrifice dearly to come here to join us in the pursuit of financial security and plans for their futures.  Persons are often only limited by their lack of desire as to what they choose for their life's work.

AMERICA HAS PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT MEDICAL ADVANCES!
Many of the discoveries and developments that have eased the pain and healed the conditions of millions around the world can be attributed to Americans.  Private grants and government subsidies have gone a long way to cure diseases or to at least retard their onslaughts.

AMERICA ALLOWS FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT!  We may drive our autos or trucks on any road, street, or highway, into any direction we choose, and to any national destination we desire.

ARE YOU GLAD TO BE AN AMERICAN?  I am.  While I was born here, my ancestors, as most Americans', were from elsewhere.  Still, we are all here because America is a country of choice, including the choice to leave and go elsewhere, if we so desire.  Books, movies, documentaries, media productions, etc., give us an idea of what it may be like to live in other parts of the world, and some of them are enticing, romantic, or tempting, STILL, I'LL REMAIN HERE IN THE LAND THAT I LOVE!

While recent events in the last few years have served drastically to "change the face of America", many of us still have hope that we will not be altered to the point of being beyond recognition.  WE CHERISH THE BASIC FREEDOMS, BENEFITS, AND BLESSINGS OF BEING AMERICANS!!

ARE YOU CONTENT WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE NOW IN YOUR COUNTRY?  Have you seen and heard things that cause you to wonder, or that even make you shudder with their portent?  I HAVE AND DO.

Political and financial entities both within and without our nation's borders are seeking to change us to something that our founders and millions of us who are "Patriots" fear is not for the best for you and me, or America.

GOVERNMENT-CONTROLLED HEALTHCARE, which is beginning to create a strain on the finances of many businesses and families and individuals.  Many are fearful of the complete implementation of the law that even those in Congress who voted for it don't fully comprehend.

TAXPAYER MONEY BEING SENT ABROAD to those who have publicly avowed their goals of destroying America!  Some of those funds were designated to build worship centers for a particular religion.  Other monies have been sent to support leaders who disavow democracy, freedom, and human rights.

PARTICIPATING IN GUN-TRAFFICKING that assists drug cartels in their power-grabs and removal of those who oppose them!  Do you believe that a program that has been as least partially responsible for some Americans' deaths is a program that we should support.

CHOOSING SIDES IN THE STRUGGLES OF OTHER NATIONS.  Unless that "struggle" is obviously headed towards the building of a "free nation", with democracy where everyone is included and considered in the final decisions, we have been ARMING FACTIONS IN OTHER COUNTRIES, and getting involved in their internal affairs.

ATTACKING AND REVILING THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, is dangerous and alarming.  This piece of our nation's foundation is A CORNERSTONE OF OUR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC AND OF OUR FREEDOMS!!  It has served us well for over 237 years, and it is still an integral organism of what makes America strong and great!

SO WHAT SAY YE?  Are you content to continue to allow persons and forces to turn America "upside down"?  Are you willing to admit that possibly you have been thinking other than what you should have been?  Are you Patriot enough to admit that the political party and politicians that you have supported have BEEN WRONG IN THEIR IDEOLOGY?

AMERICA NEEDS AND DESERVES TO BE RETURNED TO BEING "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", AGAIN!!  We must face our failures of the past, recognize our allegiances to certain political parties have been "thoughtless", be strong enough to make a change in our thinking, acting, and VOTING, and get back the rights, privileges, and freedoms that we've enjoyed for so long, and that we are at grave risk of losing!

GOD BLESS YOU, and GOD BLESS AMERICA!
