I don’t understand how could a patriot could say “if you don’t like it, move.”
Must his country be perfect for him to accept it? Fine patriot he is! ......... what’s the point of believing in something if you refuse to help it
when something goes wrong?

“But you support the State by your own actions!”
I really liked this post from Check Your Premises and felt the need to swipe it, with proper credit, of course. This part really got to me:

Well Kent, coming from a line that included patriots who moved, admittedly to this young nation. I can understand it, at least somewhat. If there was a better option out there for freedom minded folks, I would move in a heartbeat. I love the founding principles of this nation, I think that the founding documents and the compromises are probably the best that could be created. However, I do not think that it is possible to perpetuate a large nation containing those rpinciples. Sadly, most people prefer to fit into the sheep, sheepdog, wolf analogy. i.e. They like telling others what to do, being told what to do, and/or preying upon others. Those of us who do not want to lead, follow or prey upon others are in the decided minority.
ReplyDeleteI, too, would gladly move to a truly free place. It is too bad there is no such place. At least until civilization collapses or space travel becomes available to people like me.
