An individual that is dedicated to the supporting the government of his or her country no matter what is not a Patriot. A Patriot is someone that defends his country when his country lives up to its founding principles. When a government violates its Constitution it is the duty of every Patriot to refuse to comply with Unconstitutional orders.
When we obey tyrants we turn our back on the principles upon which nation was founded. Supporting the principles of liberty is our duty and responsibility and blindly support the abuse of power by our government is rebellion against the author of our liberty.
