False Patriots

Christendom is warned about false preachers, teachers, apostles, prophets and brethren. Throughout the years watchmen within the Church have sounded a clarion warning while most in the Church chose to turn a deaf ear. That shameful disregard has had tremendous consequence.

The writings of the Founders of our Country warn Americans of false patriots - those that will claim great patriotism, wrap themselves in the Flag, yet are dedicated to serving themselves, their ideologies and interests - and not the Country. Most Americans have turned a deaf ear to those warnings (or are completely oblivious to them) and our Country is suffering the consequences. The damage already done… is rapidly approaching the irreparable.

The one single standard given to identify a false patriot is remarkably simple… and greatly alarming. You are a false patriot if you do not sincerely support and defend the Constitution. And mere lip service disqualifies. By definition: You cannot be an American patriot if you are constitutionally illiterate.

The whole identity, and uniqueness of America lies within the Constitution and its framework and philosophy of and for government. Those that bend, twist and contort the Constitution, claiming it to be a “living document” are false patriots. "On every question of construction carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed." - Thomas Jefferson

Using the Constitution as the sole standard, you can easily recognize false patriots by their words, resolutions, acts, and votes… and for whom they vote. If a legislator or citizen cannot give a clear constitutional basis for what they support and why – they are false patriots.
