Patriotism by definition is devoted love, support, and defense of one's country; national loyalty. The opposite of this is anti-patriotic: tending to undermine patriotism, and propaganda activities.
If you have been paying attention, all the "old white males" that said they would not fire upon American citizen have been relieved of duty over the last 4 years.
Colonels making a lot of disparaging remarks about the Clinton years? Yes they did. There are several books out there if you care to read and find out why and what those remarks were and how they harmed our national security. Which, by the way is the main duty of the Federal Government; to protect it's citizens and defense of our boarders.
The scandals and hopelessness that our military has had to deal with under this current leader is historically the worst. You can look that up yourself, it's undefinable.
"The Gullible". Gullible by it's definition means easily deceived or cheated. I believe the American public is deceived and cheated everyday by each of the two major parties. The gullible tend to be the ones that listen to what they are told by the people telling them what they want them to hear rather than knowing the facts as they are within the context of certainty of what those facts are. Anything short of that is simply spewing off at the mouth about something you assume. And that's a opinion not a fact.
Both parties are taking us down the same path. One faster than the other. Unless one is totally blind and oblivious to what is going on, they should (without biased) see that the democratic party has been taken over by the American Socialist part. (Hell, it's what they ran on in the first term.) This socialist party does not believe in the Constitution and is trying to do everything possible to dismantle it. (Several bills this year alone to try and do this by the senate have failed). The republican party has basically been taken over by the old early progressive democrat's of the early seventy's and is headed in the same direction trying to do it on the back of the constitutional law. What few true republicans that remain standing are coming under so much fire because they are the only ones that are still standing on the principles of God and our founding fathers dreams.
This country is basically ran by "socialist" under the constraint of the Constitution that we are governed by. And we are at a divide based on the ignorance of those (that's you) that still fight between republican and democrats thoughts from yester - year. Now I am a conservative, well versed in history, Libertarian. But with that said and as long as we have a two party system, one would totally be committing suicide to vote for anyone but a republican. Cancer is fixed best when it grows at a slow pace.
War machine industrial complex? Really, ok, lets go there... It sounds fun and it sounds like a very good argument to throw into the face of those that defend this country so you can bitch about everything because this war machine has protected your first amendment right to do so.
Originally express by Saniel Guerin, in his 1936 book Fascism and Big Business, about fascist government support to heavy industry; an exhibit of the trend was made in Franz Leopold Neumann's book Behemath- The Structure and Practice of National Socialism in 1942, a study of how Nazism came into a position of power in a socialist state. The term or phrase is actually a socialistic thing....hmm.
But if you want to use it in the same sentence with the phrase of flag waving patriot, maybe a statement by Dewight D. Eisenhower on Jan 17, 1961 might make you feel better about it.
A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be might, ready for instant actions, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction.... In counsels of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex.
