What you mean is defend and preserve the Republic we were given that is blatantly ignored along with the people who pays the bills through taxation.
I meant what I said, and I said it clearly enough that there is no room for misinterpretation.
As for the taxpayers being ignored, that is wishful thinking. Alas, not everyone believes as we do on many issues, but that does not translate into being ignored. We elect our gov't, and, as a people, we get the gov't we deserve.
