"No one wants to be an outsider"


Theodore E. Lang's view of loyalty and patriotism and the tyrants currently occupying the White House (snippet):

....Americans would never think that badly of our government in order to confront it and remove it as both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution provide. And we will again wrongfully attack, kill and maim the people of two more nations in “self-defense,” just like Hitler! And we’ll do it not only by being repeatedly lied to by our own government as always, but we will invade with that very same “friendly ally” that has continually spied on US. We’ll do it with Israel, a nation that attacked, killed and maimed US military personal, re-sold secrets we gave them gratis for cash profits to a nation now purportedly our greatest future enemy, and with an ally that obtained its nuclear armaments and capability by stealing them from US.

But pointing this out makes you a Jew-hater! Pointing out that our politicians are war mongers and criminals, and seen as such by the whole world, including members of our own press and individuals at high levels within our own government, brands you as a traitor. It demonstrates that you do not support our troops! You are disloyal to those risking their lives for you.

But is that what they are really doing? Or are they merely dutifully serving the people of our nation by risking their lives and limbs for the worst form of life in God’s universe; namely, the worst of totalitarian socialist society that has risen to the pinnacle of political leadership? Aren’t they dutifully and professionally just following orders, especially those orders involving the mass carpet bombing of innocent civilian targets, torturing citizens, and machine-gun murdering whole families? This is guts and glory?

I’m sorry, but I’ve asked you to think. Please forgive my crassness in being disloyal to my “country,” the handful of criminals, traitors and mass murderers who rule the ground beneath US. I can see how this rant can not only be misconstrued as being unpatriotic and unwarranted, but also very disconcerting and distracting as well. Please, do not allow me to take up any more of your time.

Go on with what you were doing – wave those cute little flags and paste those ribbons on the butt of your SUV. Just don’t spend too much money buying those commercially available badges of loyalty and patriotism....

There's much more to this abrasive but thought-provoking rant against our totalitarian government. I recommend the entire article.
