My love for the USA is not dependent on Obama. I am not going to ever support any of America’s enemies no matter what Obama does or doesn’t do. I don’t care what ideology my enemy has. I don’t care “why they hate us,” all that matters is that they do.
We are fortunate to live in the USA and be able to criticize our own government only because American patriots are ready to fight our nation’s enemies, no matter what their ideological stripe.
But when you say your ‘love for the USA’, what do you mean? The country ‘The United States of America’ as designated by the UN? The land itself? The people ‘Americans’? Is that what makes the USA, or is it actually the ideology of the Founders, written down in the Constitution?
You see, I and many others could not fight for the USA under any and all circumstances, no exceptions. What if America treated me as Christians are treated in Iran? Should I fight for America then? And if there is a civil war to overthrow the constitutional revisionists? Who should I fight for? The rebels or the left wing government?
The Founders clearly stated that the people have the duty to turn against the state if the state denies them their rights under the Constitution. This is called ‘the Right to Revolution’. Its the entire reason of the 2nd Amendment.
I doubt even you can imagine no condition under which you would not be able to support the United States. I’m not saying we’re there yet, but blind allegiance totally circumvents the check and balance that the people still hold.
