"WHAT IS A PATRIOT?"

PATRIOTS are not "Revolutionaries" trying to overthrow the government of the United States.

Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well-wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution never to violate in the least particular the laws of the country, and never to tolerate their violation by others.” -- Abraham Lincoln Speech, January 27, 1837.

What brings the PATRIOTS out of the woodwork?

When the constitutional process, the system of checks and balances set up by the Founders, has not just been thrown out of kilter, it has been thrown out the window. These socialist maneuvers are what attracts PATRIOTS to the streets of America.

I agree with you, you didn't misunderstand my post did you?

I hope not.

Revolutioary vs Counter Revolutionary doesn't enter the equation for this conversation. I was just citing Orwell to make the point that certain truths can never be uttered.....without being punished.
