A lot of people confuse FedGov™ with America. Is it possible to hate FedGov™ and still be a patriotic American? Well is it?

“Hate’’ is a powerful emotional investment I make sparingly General.I do that because hate often leads to resentment and as a wise man once noted, "Nothing consumes a man more completely than a passion for resentment''. Something you ought to think about. I don't like big government, I'm not in favor of it at all, to say the least which is why among many reasons, I went from being a liberal to a conservative. As far as patriotism I go with Mark Twain's observation on the subject: "Patriotism is supporting your country all of the time and your government when it deserves it''. This current administration hasn't done anything for me to feel patriotic about.
