Patriots, by definition, LOVE America and her interests with devotion.
When
you LOVE your country, you tend to see things differently than a
citizen who lives here, but has no expressed love for America.
For the sake of discussion, think about a Patriot like the Mama Grizzly Bear above leading her cubs through the Grand Tetons.
What’s Mama Grizzly Bear’s primary focus?
Her innate LOVE manifests in fiercely protecting, nurturing and training her cubs.
Mama Bear is naturally and instinctively attuned to anything that could cause her cubs harm.
Mama Bear LOVES her cubs knowing, in a relatively short time, they will be out of the den and on their own.
Mama Grizzly knows her cubs need enough situational awareness to survive on their own… and that drives her passion to train them in the ways of the wilderness.
While
Mama Bear has them under her protection, she uses her expertise to
teach the cubs how to play with their siblings, find sustenance, avoid
predators and navigate the wilderness.
Nothing distracts Mama Grizzly Bear from her top job, regardless of external environmental conditions.
Of
course, the day eventually comes when Mama Grizzly Bear watches the
cubs leave the den. Then she is able to attend to other matters.
Can you imagine a Mama Grizzly Bear not caring for her cubs? The idea of her giving birth, tossing them out of the den and letting the cubs fend for themselves is preposterous.
Why? Because a loving Mama Grizzly Bear would never do that…
That’s the difference between American Patriots and most citizens.
Patriots will NEVER give up and let the next generation figure it out on their own. Citizens who don't love America can't raise Patriot cubs.
Patriots are fiercely protective of our American den and want to make it safer and more productive for those who come after us (whether they are our biological kids or not).
Patriots don’t live in La La land.
We know America is not perfect… only God is perfect.
Patriots see numerous threats whose mission is to target our way of life and convince us that LOVING America is a waste of time and fraught with danger.
Mama Grizzly stays undercover when she feels threatened. Similarly, there are times when Patriots have to be STEALTHY.
