239 years later, the “new patriot” is much more politically correct, a kinder-gentler “patriot” no longer capable of protecting or defending freedom and liberty, because doing so comes at a price they will no longer pay.
18 U.S. Code § 2381 – defines Treason as – “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason…” and the law states that those convicted of treason - “shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
According to our laws, the price for treason is the same as it always was, death… But according to “modern patriots,” we no longer charge anyone with treason in the United States. Blatant acts of treason, tyranny and treachery are now mere disagreements in political perspectives. A problem to be dealt with in the next election, or the one after that.
The “new patriot” no longer acknowledges the severe nature of these high crimes. Frankly, they no longer care about such trivial matters. They are far more interested in playing politics in an arena where they don’t even have a seat at the table. They are focused on raising money for their “patriot PACs” and liberty groups. They are not focused on holding anyone accountable for any act of treason, tyranny or treachery in the United States.
“No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do, opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely, and without reserve.” – March 23, 1775While most of the men gathered at the Second Virginia Convention searched for a way to avoid the bloody price of freedom and liberty, one man stood before them and called the nation to arms.
“This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfil the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offence, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.”Such is the case again today, as the most impeachable administration in United States history sits safely in the people’s White House, free from any real consequences for the treason, tyranny and treachery they have committed daily since illegally seizing power on January 20, 2009. While most Tea Party and Liberty Group members try to escape their responsibility for the ongoing destruction of a once great nation, playing partisan politics with the future of freedom, only a few stand tall and call the nation to a proper defense.
“Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.”Little more than a year later, the same sentiments were recorded in the Declaration of Independence – “Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” – Sentiments that would be proven true again over the coming 239 years . . . .
