Patriotism is an idea stealthily quelling healthy skepticism.

I do not accept being called unpatriotic for questioning the ACTIONS which have taken place in my lifetime which are a result of American leaders, those people elected by the people and for the people (ideally).

How long can we keep saying America is the Greatest Country in the World?  It rolls of my tongue like I was born saying it.

But the world can change while you still remain in the same geographic location.

Each and every time a statement is made, it is in the best interest for all stakeholders to be hearing it from a well informed source.

Otherwise, it meets the criteria of propaganda.

I feel that I put myself at risk of derision for writing these words.

I feel this because I believe these words can be interpreted and associated with the phrase "unpatriotic".

PLEASE READ AND CONSIDER THIS BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME:

Look at the text of the Declaration of Independence.

No I am not in any way shape or form suggesting the actions for which that document was the spark.

However, here is my CHALLENGE:

CAN A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE READ THOSE WORDS ALOUD TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WITH DIGNITY AND HONOR OF THE LEVEL IN WHICH IT IS REGARDED?
