Understand this. Blind obedience to government is NOT patriotism. Blind unquestioning obedience to government is NOT loyalty to country. Defending your country from foreign aggression is patriotism, Defending your people from tyranny weather foreign or domestic is loyalty to country and patriotism. Believing you should obey government, believing you should not question is slavery.
Allowing government to dictate the inalienable rights and freedoms we are all born with is slavery. Human beings all have a built in instinct for freedom. Most of us understand that government was never grated authority by the people to usurp that freedom. The constitution was written to protect those freedoms from government tyranny and does not afford them any right or authority to restrict, suppress or dictate any of those rights under any circumstance. The constitution was written by people that knew that power corrupts and governments that grant themselves power will without the restraints of the constitution abuse that power and the rights and freedoms of the people. Loyalty to the rights and freedoms, and a willingness to lay down ones life to defend those rights and freedoms is the duty of all true patriots and good citizens. #provemewrong

A fairy tale.

No government formed by humans has ever been perfect. But the best one was that formed by the Constitution of the United States. Too bad the US abandoned it in the last century. Now those chickens have come home to roost.

I live in Australia which has its own constitution but as a Republican I have always felt it would be a good idea to formally adopt the U.S constitution. Making only small to suit the needs of the native population. But in essence it would provide much better protection of our rights and freedoms as well as restoring our right to defend ourselves.

@MrBogus007 I would make some slightly larger changes to the constitution to strengthen it. For instance, in Article I the legislative power is granted only to Congress, so what do the lazy professional politicians do, delegate it. I would forbid the delegation of any power from one branch to another. Also, the sovereignty of the States must be so strengthened by the constitution that the Federal government won't even think of encroaching upon it. The United States has failed to follow the Constitution of the United States for over a century, and it is killing our freedom.

"The constitution was written to protect those freedoms from government tyranny and does not afford them any right or authority to restrict, suppress or dictate any of those rights under any circumstance."

And an opposing opinion:

Debate in Virginia Ratifying Convention
1788 Elliot 3:89, 430--36, 439--42
[6 June]

George Mason:
Among the enumerated powers, Congress are to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises, and to pay the debts, and to provide for the general welfare and common defence; and by that clause (so often called the sweeping clause) they are to make all laws necessary to execute those laws. Now, suppose oppressions should arise under this government, and any writer should dare to stand forth, and expose to the community at large the abuses of those powers; could not Congress, under the idea of providing for the general welfare, and under their own construction, say that this was destroying the general peace, encouraging sedition, and poisoning the minds of the people? And could they not, in order to provide against this, lay a dangerous restriction On the press? Might they not even bring the trial of this restriction within the ten miles square, when there is no prohibition against it? Might they not thus destroy the trial by jury?

Although I am familiar with the U. S. Constitution. Iam refering to the Australian constitution in this comment. I would more than happily stand in defense of freedom anywhere in the world. Stand strong America you won the fight for freedom before and will again.

@MrBogus007 Thank you for your support. Sad what the government is doing to your constitution in Australia. If they can win here, it's all over for the rest of the world. I enlisted in order to place my fragile body between my nation and her enemies. I never thought until 1988 that the enemies would come from within. Greed and ideological idiocy are the driving forces for the enmity toward freedom all over the world, greed for WEF and CCP money, and the idiocy of Marxism.
