They do not love church. They scoff and sneer at the religious.

They do not love the businessman. They attack and criticize his success. They cheer when the governments' loot his bank account. They grin when taxes and regulations do him in. They can barely hide their disgust with Capitalism and simple profit. I guess it's so long since they made a profit they have forgotten how it feels to succeed.

They do not love our military or the men and women who give their lives to keep us free. They cannot wait to pounce on any misconduct or misstep, making it appear as if the entire group is corrupted and stupid. They boldly use the death of our soldiers as fodder to push their whiny, pacifistic attitudes.

They do not admire honesty, often covering up when crooked politicians lie with straight faces – unless they are Republicans. When Republicans are caught in even the most minor of affairs, they descend upon them, then rend and tear them until their enemy is politically dead.

Worst of all, they do not love the truth. For them, truth is a tool. Truth is relative and can be whatever you want it to be. They bend it, ignore it, twist it, change it, spin it, laugh at it – whatever it takes to promote their agenda and their favorites.

And lately, they don't care that you and I know this.

I cannot continue to lend my financial support to such people. My dropped subscription does not amount to much. I know the newspapers are dying and I say good riddance. But while they are still around, pardon me if I keep the opinion that these are emotional, irrational entities that cannot be taken seriously if we wish to promote and protect the Constitution.

I could go so far as to suggest that these pathetic love-sick sycophants have become the enemies of liberty. You cannot worship a president and his government if you wish to remain free. That would give one man too much power. He would need more character and restraint than a mere human possesses to resist abuse.

This is not just my opinion. The Founding Fathers pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to help us fend off such a dangerously empowered leader. They worshiped God and their love was reserved for their Constitution and their fellow citizens – who they believed were the heart and soul of this nation – not one man, nor one party, and certainly not any government. They knew a simple truth that too many have forgotten.

Oh, and on Inauguration Day, I will not be watching TV. I will be taking a walk in the woods to clear my head and remember what is truly great about this country. I suggest others do the same.
