“I’ll tell you what Patriotism isn’t - renouncing your Citizenship and running away.”
I can conceive of circumstances where it would be - if you are loyal to what America was conceived of and stood for. My ancestors did not run from their countries. They came to what America was. It is a shadow of that nation today. I don’t doubt that the same pursuit that drove immigrants here will continue to drive them in pursuit of freedom elsewhere.
“...if you are loyal to what America was conceived of and stood for....”
If you are, then you don’t bug out.
“...They came to what America was. It is a shadow of that nation today...”
True enough. But enough of it remains that is worth doing whatever is necessary to preserve it. As you said way back in your first post to me “I will fight until then, but I wonder if we have jumped the shark already...”
Would you say that if you didn’t believe it was STILL worth fighting for?
But...we’ll agree to disagree. Rather than go around and around.
You and I probably agree on many things. On this, we don’t. I’ll leave it at that.
Have a great night.
