O.k. Brain, now will you ADMIT you were wrong ?
pa·tri·ot /ˈnoun 1.a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion. 2.a person who regards himself or herself as a defender, esp. of individual rights, against presumed interference by the federal government. Go look it up, on dictionary.com if you don't believe me |

That only shows how corrupted the system has become, it does NOT change the fact that they're our servants! Repeat to yourself as necessary.

The government and the country are not synonymous. Patriots are loyal to our country, not to our government. Usually that's the same thing, but when it's not the former prevails.
>That guy named Thomas was and American patriot rebelling against the ENGLISH government. All of those quotations were from after the American Revolution and were his comments on the United States, not life under George III. |

Since the "system" has never put every decision to a public vote, are you implying it's been "corrupt" since it's inception or are you rattling off again?!?!?!? |

Presidents, governors, mayors, judges...they're there to do our collective bidding. Call it their "best judgement", but thats whatever the hell we say it is, and when its NOT what we say it is, they're removed from office. Thats how its supposed to work.

ok....remove a public servant from office since you can't make one serve you. Yes, there IS a process, but you and I, as typical voters, have absolutely no involvement in the impeachment process what so ever. |

No, nor should anyone ever consider a dictionary to be an aribter of language. Secondary sources such as dictionaries are recorders, and flawed ones at that. Who cares what M-W thinks a word means? |

is buttered on. Public outcry is usually sufficient to make the wheels of government turn, even if election day is in the distant future.
