    I believe in the power of our system if the people do their civic duty and reclaim their rights . I believe in the Constitution as the greatest blue print ever written for the necessary evil of government.

    That my friend is the description of an "unpatriot". They throw the word patriot around without knowing what it means and in the process damage freedoms and spit on the Constitution.

    I know of no one who defines patriotism in that manner.
