Patriotism as we know it ended with mass immigration through the fear of upsetting minorities. Not many Brits are patriotic because it is largely frowned upon by the powers-that-be. You get called "racist" and a "bigot" if you brandish an English or British flag. Even football fans going to the Euro's have been asked not to wear Knights Templar outfits for this reason. Some people here in rented accommodation have been told to remove the country's flag as it upsets minority groups.

As for me, if I am told not to do something I'm more likely to do it. I'm stubborn like that and more patriotic than most and they can call me whatever they want to - I won't move my stance. Britain has lost it's "Great" and I mourn that loss.

Yes God is patriotic for Israel!

I love my country, so don't get me wrong with what I am going to say. Things were pretty nice in Canada for 10 years under conservative Christian Prime Minister Harper. We came out of the recession in good shape because of his tight fiscal policies and low spending. He also kept things socially conservative, although he could never overturn the abortion laws. Then came the election last October.

The left wing media smeared Harper to death. They deified the youthful Trudeau, who is actually worse than his father, having absolutely no qualifications or experience for the job! And Trudeau ripped off Obama's slogan "time for a change" and the rest is history.

We have a humanistic Muslim Prime Minister, jetting around the world, who thinks he has a license to unbridled spending, and to change the very fabric of our nation, which has always been based in Christian principles and practices. Even our national motto "And he shall have dominion from sea to sea" comes from Psalm 72:8!

So Obama has been tutoring our boy child PM and he has unleashed non gendered bathrooms, is taking the "sexist" language out of our national anthem, and pushing through assisted suicide legislation. Then there was the latest Supreme Court decision that sex with animals is ok! As for the economy, the military, and other important things, I don't think he has time to worry about those things when he is enjoying jet setting at the tax payers expense.

"God keep our land, indeed!!"

But then God reminds me that no more than this life, our country is not supposed to be what we are focusing on. We are supposed to be living with the Kingdom of God as our focus. Earthly kingdoms and their rulers will rise and fall, but Christ is our only true King. And not just King, but King of kings!

"On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords." Rev. 19:16
I am so sorry to hear that you guys too, are going through a anti-Christian, immoral, Liberalist take over. It was prophesied that in the last days, the world would become more and more evil. We do not have to like it, in fact we hate the evil that is spreading like a cancer. What it means, is we are getting VERY CLOSE, to hearing that SHOUT from the Archangel, that will carry us to forever be with Jesus. Can you imagine how rapidly the world will become totally rotten; once we and the Holy Spirit in us are removed from earth. Does that mean our work on earth is done? NO, I believe as long as we have a breath left in our bodies, we are to continue to be the SALT of the Earth.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (ASV)
[SUP]16 [/SUP] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
[SUP]17 [/SUP] then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
[SUP]18 [/SUP] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

my allegiance is not to any country... it is to the King of the universe. I will never swear allegiance to any other.
Then you are disobedient:

Matthew 22:21-22 (ESV)
[SUP]21 [/SUP] They said, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them,
“Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
[SUP]22 [/SUP] When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away.

Romans 13:1 (ESV)
[SUP]1 [/SUP] Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

1 Peter 2:13-15 (NKJV)
[SUP]13 [/SUP] Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme,
[SUP]14 [/SUP] or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.
[SUP]15 [/SUP] For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men--

1 Peter 2:17 (ASV)
[SUP]17 [/SUP] Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.


For GOD and COUNTRY, is BIBLICAL and IT IS GOD'S WILL.

Its hard to be Patriotic to a country that saw nothing wrong with mass murder of people, the Native Americans, and the enslavement of black people.

You talk about the Bill of Rights. What about their rights? Who gave them the authority to murder and steal? Not God!

TWO WRONGS NEVER DID MAKE A RIGHT.

The tribes to this very day are being PAID every year, for the land that was taking by force. Some spend it wisely, and some spend it foolishly, but nearly all says "I can't wait to get my Indian Money."

Perhaps you should ask a Native American War Hero, WHY HE FOUGHT, and WHY HE IS PATRIOTIC?

[video=youtube;zQHhbhtpJ3M]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQHhbhtpJ3M[/video]

Watch these Videos of Native American War Heros coming home (ESPECIALLY THE LAST VIDEO), and ask yourself WHY DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO PROBLEM SHOWING PATRIOTISM AND YOU DO?

LOL, so what Anti-Patriot site did you copy/paste that from.

All you did is prove you know how to copy/paste.

What you don't know that is the same kind rhetoric that Hanoi Jane and her buddies used to pedal, when the media swallowed it hook, line and sinker. Now it is being regurgitated by someone, and you swallowed it hook, line, and sinker. GEE, I wish they had never eliminated the Draft. Maybe you would have learned the truth.

Whoever wrote that article, did make me laugh, they actually said, "An excess of patriotism in the defense of a nation is called chauvinism; another related term is jingoism."

NO, it is called:

THESE COLORS DO NOT RUN!
&
NO MAN LEFT BEHIND.

We did not lose, or leave men behind in Viet Nam, the Politicians DID NOT LET US WIN, or let us go after those men. WHY did they do that? I think it is obvious, they were more concerned about getting re-elected, and did not want more bad press reports generated by Hanoi Jane's Protests.

As for your comment about us Veterans, you do not have a CLUE why we served, therefore, I seriously DOUBT if you truly respect or know what we did or why we did it. I enlisted in the USA Air Force for 4 years. I rose in rank to Staff Sargent. I very proud of my Service, and I absolutely believe it was GOD's will that I serve.

Matthew 22:21 (ASV)
[SUP]21 [/SUP] They say unto him, Caesar's.
Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

That Certainly includes Military Service when it is required. I am a Veteran of the Cold War/Vietnam Era.
I may be good at copy/ paste, but I am not blind.

You say these colors don't run: I say they lie.....& they have lied even before we were officially a country.

You say No Man Left Behind..... YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW of the americans that were left behind during WWII..... american pow's in Germany were taken prisoner by Stalin & taken to Siberia as work-slaves. Our govt. left them there instead of prisoner exchange, because they wanted to keep all the German scientists & SS leaders to continue their research & form the CIA. The gov't has been caught attacking their own soldiers so they can declare war on other countries for it.

You're so patriotically blind you have no clue what REALLY happened at Pearl Harbor!

No, I'm not a patriot for my country..... but for our people who have been brainwashed for over 200 years by those who called themselves "the founding fathers"..... not to mention how nearly every president comes from either blue blood families or people in international organizations, such as the CFR, Bilderburgers, Trilateral Commission, and, oh yes, the CIA itself, & the list goes on & on..... you know, the people that tell us how to think.

So don't even get me started.:rolleyes:

Hegelian dialectic in action. Keeps us busy, no? It's like football for the politically minded, a sport.

Concerning the left behind soldiers. Now that is something most folks don't know. What a tremendous heart burden for the families of those! not to mentions the soldiers, leaving signals time and again in hopes of being rescued! Little did they know that one of the ones released would then go join the ranks within, as a key weapon against them. McCain. Mc-Cain. Interesting name-that.

Does many know the young Laura Bush killed her boyfriend? She ran a stop sign plowing into his vehicle..now whether it was accidental or deliberate? I certainly do not know, the point is this~if you are depending on mainstream media to keep you informed...you are merely brainwashed. they tell you what they want you to think.

Some may conclude from these 2 examples that I must be a bleeding heart liberal. You would be wrong. I was born into a conservative Republican family and always considered myself such. ..until my eyes were opened. I tend to be harder on the ones who deceived me the most. I had already investigated the Democrats a bit, but not the ones where I had sided. So what now? Pick my poison? No thanks, it's either the devil in pink or the devil in blue.

It gets depressing, when finally you realize that the world you live in is an illusion..all lies. The deeper you go in finding the truth will shake you to your core, for all the lies you bought for truth. The evil..hiding in high places..things so heinous as I cannot say.

But keep going, searching out what is truth. Because, as one by one the figures in life both past and present, that you once thought worthy of praise, to be esteemed, all get knocked down and then all, I say all that is left is Yeshua/Jesus the Creator the Messiah. Did He not warn us of these things?

Take heed that no man deceive you

Yet another who has bought into left wing propaganda.

Just so you know, my Dad was a machinegunner in WWII, I had a very good friend that was shot down, and a POW in WWII and even excaped three times, he lived next door to my Mom, and I talked to him every time I visited Mom. My career field required me to know way more about what was going on in Vietnam, than you obviously have ever known. Sorry I KNOW you swallowed left wing propaganda, and/or pure Malarkey.

SO WHAT OTHER EXCUSE DO YOU HAVE FOR BEING NON-PATRIOTIC?

Is it patriotic to obey men rather than God? Is it right to help pay for abortions? Have you researched autism? Do you have a son as well as dad who was in a war? Post all the propaganda in the world, call me any name you choose, if it makes you feel better.

No this country is not perfect. No the people of this country are not perfect. God has blessed this country with bounty. God has blessed this country with freedom and liberty.

We must fight everyday to protect the freedom and liberty that we have because men who know so much more than the rest of us are working around the clock to steal from us our liberty and freedom.

Honor those who have given their blood to keep us free and safe many of whom did not know the God Who drew salvations plan.

Salute the flag and quit whining. Honor a service member for his or her courage to serve and personal sacrifice for your safety and freedom.

For the cause of Christ

What about the black people? Have they been PAID for their families that we forced to be slaves? Have they received ANYTHING at all for being forced to be slaves? What about their due!

VCO you sound like you are making excuses for the evils this Country has done to those who ARE God's Children!

Well, in some cases, there were tribes that sold the members of their own tribe, and got paid. Does that count?

the biggest threat to american patriotism right now is not that patriotism is 'dying' but that it is being -counterfeited-

this counterfeit patriotism has appeared in the form of a 'nationalist' movement that believes america can only be 'great' by 'winning' at the expense of other nations...

in contrast the founders...in agreement with scripture...understood that america's greatness or lack thereof consists in the moral character of its citizens...moral character that does not seek the kinds of 'wins' that are being promoted by the false patriots...

Right. Most people groups practiced slavery throughout history. How far back does compensation go back? 2,000 years, 4,000 years, 6,000 years?

Do you have any skin in the game Roger? You do not strike me as the type, based on all the men in my family that served, including my son. Do you realize that very few sacrifice/tow the line for the majority, and most oh so grateful freedom loving people will not even mow their lawns while they're away for their young wives with children, or see the smallest act of kindness they could do for these soldiers families? No, they go about their lovely lives, no worries. But they say "honor them for their service" what does that mean? Empty words a pat on the back? but I could be wrong about you Roger, because you certainly are wrong about me.

Salute the flag? do you mean the satanic flag of Hillary, or the satanic flag on the Rep. elephant? Upside down stars..just an accident, a mistake. Wake up people, your reality is only a dream. We're not in Kansas anymore.
