Oh my! Can"t believe I saw the new definition of Patriot!!

This ^^

Most of the taxes are spent paying interest on the debt which continues to grow each year.

Based on the definition of 'patriot' in that sign, I wonder if 38% of the US realize they aren't 'patriots'.

Thanks TV :)

I don't see anywhere in the definition that a real patriot wnats to keep paying salaries for repetitive politicians. Firemen, soldiers, civil servants, etc... yes, but not career politicians. They are the scourge of our lives.

war is peace

I love it when people try to make you believe that most tax money goes to these things. Or that it is not state and local taxes that actually pay for most of them. Unbelievable.

Straight out of the DNC

A real Patriot believes in LESS government not a Government power grab!

Read the book.

Kicking the Goat Silly

Excellent story by the way, Turtles.

True.

Fuck this Orwellian language re-definition bullshit.

Yup.

How is the infrastructure in your area people?

I know damn well that the "gas" tax that is supposed to go to infrastructure hasn't been seen in my area.

About 3 months ago the DOT put in a culvert just down the road from my house. This is a paved road. So, they put it in and filled in the gap with gravel. Every couple weeks they would lay some more gravel down and bring the plow to even it out. This went on for months. All of the money they spent maintaining that little gravel patch (5-10 ft) they could have paved it many, many times over. It's like a bunch of monkeys are in charge. A highschool kid could have done a better job managing.

The Feds spend more money than anyone and don't produce anything. They simply steal other peoples property and give to countries that hate us and bums who refuse to produce anything.

Thomas Jefferson
letter to Joseph Milligan — 1816
Category: Taxation
To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.

The Historic Definition of Who the Patriots Were!

The Boston Tea Party
The Patriots were determined to prevent the tea on these ships from being landed on American soil, because if it were, a tax would be due upon it. Parliament had passed a new law, the Tea Act of 1773, which kept a small tax of three pence on all English tea brought into the American colonies. This shipment of tea was from the East India Company, and it would be consigned, or sold, only to seven Boston merchants selected by the East India Company. They were all loyal to the British government.

Tea was imported regularly to the American Colonies starting in the early 1720s. By the 1760’s, colonists were consuming 1.2 million pounds of tea a year. Both men and women had come to enjoy it as an everyday beverage, although it was most popular among the ladies of cosmopolitan communities such as Boston.

England soon realized that it could make more money on the tea trade by imposing new taxes. This made English tea very expensive. In response to the increase in the price of English tea, colonists began smuggling cheaper tea from Holland. While Parliament knew about the smuggling, it had a hard time enforcing the law. There were not enough customs officials in the colonies, and the nooks and crannies of the American coastline made it easy to find ways to smuggle goods into the colonies.

In 1767 Parliament responded to smuggling by passing the Indemnity Act. This repealed the duty on tea and made English the same price as Dutch tea. This pleased both the English East India Company and law-abiding colonial merchants. However, Parliament also passed the Townshend Acts in 1767, which once again put a tax on tea.

The colonists protested against the taxes for many reasons. They believed that Britain was unfairly using the taxes to help pay for British troops sent to America during the French and Indian War (1754-1763). Perhaps most importantly, they felt that Parliament did not have the right to tax them because the American colonies had no representative in Parliament. The colonists believed that only taxes they were able to vote on were legal.

The Sons of Liberty, a group of colonists organized to protest English rule, warned merchants, artisans, and others that more unjust laws would follow. Colonists began to boycott British goods to protest taxes. As tea was the most common and widely used of the newly taxed items, attention was focused on the tea tax. The anti-British movement and the boycott of British goods were successful. In the spring of 1770, Parliament repealed the Townshend Acts and the duties on all items – except tea

I just joined their page group and posted this vid!!!

That "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS" slogan used by so many people in America. Are those supporters ... patriots or only ignorants?
So many definition of 'patriot' word ... easy to get confused.

So many wars so many victims so much destruction worldwide and still 'support our troops' sticker is very popular.

I've go three words for this type of sycophant.

BOSTON TEA PARTY!!!!!

Its mostly on the military right?

Im all in already when I travel to pump to pump lol. what geniuses we have in the WH.

Mental Conditioning.

Shut up and do it damn yanks.

Ask not what ur country can do for you...

fuck lol, this is what we're up against folks... sheer willful ignorance. These people are dangerous, and will fight to protect this corrupt system

What KIND of patriot?

A dedicated communist patriot?

The social union of the Americans.

Reminds me of The 11th edition of The Newspeak Dictionary.

Patriot: pays tax. funds the war effort. help comrades.

doublepluspatriot: Barrack Obama

The whole idea behind the "support our troops" slogan is that it isn't their fault that they are committing such unpatriotic actions--It is the government's fault, which with intensity commands them to do disgusting things else their lives and family's lives will be forfeit.

You can be patriotic and support the people of your country, while knowing that we are in fact under the control of a brutal regime. They will monitor us, strip us of our free speech, disarm us. They will sexually assault us when we wish to travel. They will shoot our dogs, who are simply trying to protect us, when they break into our homes.

I'm not sure what being patriotic is, anymore. It certainly isn't something that is seen often. It would probably be the rare person who stands up for America and against the establishment without fear for their lives and without hiding behind a computer screen. Those people have long since perished, I'm afraid.

So I guess all the parasites on the dole are not 'patriots". Only the poor schlubs who are still dumb enough to work.

you're confusing the word "patriot" with "dumb slave"
