I\u2019ll tell it to you this way.<\/p>\n<p>If you truly love the home you live in, maybe your car, maybe your style and the way you dress, maybe your pets, maybe your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend; then you apply common sense and are protective of and take care of those things and want to keep it that way. You would probably do what\u2019s necessary to maintain it. You would at least try to not let it fall apart out of neglect; and you definitely wouldn\u2019t intentionally do things to make it change and morph into something totally different from what you love.<\/p>\n<p>And, we apply that same principal to this country.<\/p>\n<p>In my analysis, THAT is the basic Patriot principle.<\/p>\n<p>AND if someone else, outside influences, or even influences posing as people close to you started doing things to morph it, to change it, to take it apart, and rearrange it the way THEY want it, you\u2019d say:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cHey you. No, no you don\u2019t!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">&#8220;This country is already loved and cherished by way more people than just you, you just came on the scene and all of a sudden think you\u2019re in charge.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, you and your friends have been nothing but weasels who should be totally ashamed of yourselves for maneuvering and sneaking and using the system against everybody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">&#8220;The system of laws, which was created to maintain those things that are loved, you\u2019ve now weaseled into and radically changed those laws, to give you \u2014 A VASTLY SMALLER AND LAWLESS GROUP \u2014 control of the folks who are busy enjoying life as it was provided for them \u2026 and who are always\u00a0<u>learning<\/u>\u00a0and <u>growing<\/u>\u00a0with the aging process, unlike you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, instead, they\u2019ve used our system of laws to gain power for themselves (through deception and trickery) over the vast majority of law-abiding human beings. That is about as low and weasel-like as a human being can be. Yet we all know, they\u2019re proud as can be about it.<\/p>\n<p>They SHOULD be terribly ashamed when they think about it.\u00a0 That is when they\u2019re all by themselves and just inside their own heads and they let their souls speak to them, instead of what is leading them from the outside. But instead, they keep their head and soul crammed full of negative influences from the outside sources which they have allowed to be their controllers.<\/p>\n<p>Those same outside influences couldn\u2019t care less about them, and only caring about themselves is the bottom line that they need to come to grips with.\u00a0 And, that all they have created for themselves is a solidarity of selfish human beings, masquerading to each other as a group that is highly intelligent and supposedly enlightened.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Do they really think what they have done and created is going to last?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>They all know it\u2019s not. But they are so giddy about the cesspool of power they\u2019ve been given to wade around in, and can see how things are caving in around them and around us.\u00a0 Nonetheless, they choose denial and won\u2019t, and can\u2019t, admit that there are nasty, nasty evil forces everywhere who would kill ALL OF US in a moment just for laughs.<\/p>\n<p>And they do not look up to anyone who may be older and wiser. They do not seek their counsel or advice. They certainly are not jealous of us \u201ccommon Americans\u201d because we\u2019re not part of their \u2018intelligent\u2019 group. And they certainly do not wish to be led by you and your \u2018unintelligent\u2019 cohorts (us).<\/p>\n<p><b><i>So what\u2019s the solution?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Fight, fight, fight? I suppose that\u2019s as good as any.<\/p>\n<p>Some may think it\u2019s actually denial to simply say I still believe in God and that He knows best and that He has a plan, and meanwhile we must continue to try to do our part.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s absolutely your prerogative to not agree with that thought, but I have a hunch there are a lot of folks who still believe.<\/p>\n<p>Amen, church dismissed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-253487","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=253487"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253487\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=253487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=253487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=253487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
