From the Oregon Trail to the Liberty Bell, political rallies, election fundraisers and desperate pleas (primarily from Hillary Clinton) have been heard and experienced this election cycle. The relentless wheeling and dealing from HRC is turning the supposedly democratic elections into political dances around the rules of democracy. Her avid claims of patriotism seem to fall short of the true meaning of the word as her actions fail to give even the slightest reflection of such a virtue.
Patriotism is a passion to strengthen your country. Hillary’s contributions to her party can be boiled down to drawing lines — lines between races, lines between sexes, lines between education levels, lines between members of Congress. There’s no arguing some of these lines already existed, but deepening the division by blaming separations for her own failures is no way to combat them.
Patriotism is defending your country. If last weekend was any indication of what’s to come, Hillary will manipulate any rule to promote her personal success. Rather than defend the rules/laws of even her own political party, she turns her back on them and helps to run the Democrats’ ship of state into the ground by putting herself before the good of the party/country.
Patriotism is recognizing what is best for your country … and then doing it. Rather than abiding by the process and letting the people decide, Hillary is trying to manipulate the system for her own political gain. Refusing to promote unity, displaying relentless selfishness and failing to recognize or act on the country’s best interests leads to only one conclusion — and it’s not patriotism that I’m alluding to. Continuing to do this and drawing out the election process by relying solely on the manipulation of superdelegates (her only chance left to steal this election) will do nothing but put the blues into the hallowed colors of this nation.
