As explained in the Declaration of Independence, the "established government" had become tyrannical and was incapable of serving the needs of the American colonists.
Doesn't matter. Tyranny of that sort, while somewhat annoying and bothersome, does not even approach oppressive. Some would say the invasion of privacy for 'safety purposes' and other reasons would be considered an infringement upon the citizens of the respective states. As for 'serving the needs' our own government doesn't even do that anymore and hasn't for many a year.
Justify it anyway that makes you feel better. But by the author's own definition, the Framers were not patriotic to their nation. Now I don't mind that they weren't, in fact even thankful that they weren't. But patriotism has to mean something more than loyalty to the current State. And I can't see how it is necessarily always a trait of a good Christian.
