Misunderstood Patriots

It’s time to speak up. I’ve been a diehard Republican all my adult life and disillusioned by the GOP almost as long. How can anyone call themselves patriotic and of a political party that doesn’t take care of its citizens or guests at the same time? How does a government of the people, by the people not be for the people as our Constitution states?

Everyone knowns abortion, immigration and foreign policy are hot button topics. Congress has the power to changes them when it comes to common sense and morality, so why have they not?

Politicians of every political party make promises, yet nothing seems to change in what has been referred to as the swamp. There is an old saying that politics makes strange bedfellows.

When business tycoon Donald Trump campaigned for the presidency it was a breath of fresh air, not tainted by the politics of the Washington establishment. I was drawn to the direct honesty of his campaign speeches and promises – America First; Build the Wall; and The Best is yet to come. It was refreshing to hear someone publicly stand by the Constitution; for the flag and honor God, not government.

Initially we who swore an oath to defend the Constitution during military service began to consider ourselves as Constitutionalists. Over time we were lumped in with the MAGA crowd who support Donald Trump.

Democratic members of congress and the Obama administration had already labeled us who were white Americans, Veterans and Christians as enemies of the state. That labeling continued when Trump became president, and then we were being called the militant right.

When all the disobedience and civil unrest began following the inauguration of President Trump the actions of the militant and far left culminating in the events of January 6th 2021 were blamed on Trump and his MAGA followers.

I stand by my assessment that the insurrection and attempted coup by the progressive democratic leftists to make Trump ineffective and remove him from office has gone into overtime to insure that he never returns to the office of the president.

We are not violent, militant or subversive.

Our aim is as it was before Trump –

“I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”

Politicians have assumed that members of the military have sworn an allegiance to Donald Trump. I find it insulting and hypocritical that Republican “Party “House Freedom Caucus” spokesperson in congress has now called for Trump to tell his supporters to “stand down” – from what? Do not those same members of congress take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution? Or is it simply an oath to “do as I please in congress and the Constitution is to be damned”? The hypocrisy of American politics is so evident in what is happening in our nation today.

The nation was formed on godly biblical principles as a place where we are free to worship God, not ourselves, and/or natural or manmade objects. We must put God at the center of our lives, ask for HIS forgiveness of our disobedience (sin) and ask for HIS guidance, if this nation is to survive. – RTM

One thought on “Misunderstood Patriots

  1. I am on board with all of that. I once thought the Repubs would step in and save our country, but now, they are as bad as the Dems, only hide it better. I fear a violent revolution to reclaim the US is waiting on the next block, why not? we’ve done it before .
