We must hope to be, hope to live, hope to overcome, hope to thrive, hope to lead, and hope to be hopeful for the sake of Our Great Country and for the future to be. Take this Patriot Note to De Niro, Dear Patriot One. Tell De Niro to be hopeful for America. Tell him not to give up. Remind him of the Positive American Patriots Resolve (PAPR). Tell him not to be gloomy of the future of Our Great Country, but hopeful for that match forward towards a Perfect Union – those dreams of lives not lost in vain, those grateful enduring remembrance of patriots sacrifices and endeavors of time immemorial, that we The People shall never give up to cynicism or spinelessness. Remind him, Patriot one, that his patriot tears shall not go unnoticed, or unwiped. Remind him, dear one, of the Positive Patriot American Hope (PPAH), of a better country, of better days ahead, to keep building that country on the Hill for the world to see, to continue to be that lighthouse for all nations to be illuminated, to continue that star above the galaxies that shines in the darkest of the dark for all Americans, that sweet home for that country to be rest in him. Hope shall be his breath, not his dread. Remind him of the Constitutionality of The People – the Sacred American People’s Power to Vote. He must hope in the promise and believe in the Silent Patriotic Resolve of the American People. Remind him to keep thanking the American People of all stripes in their silent, nonviolent, peaceful resistance. Remind him that the fundamentals of the Union are strong, resilient, promising, and hopeful to the future generations, with Patriot Fixes. He believes in a country that should believe in itself, but is tilting off its foundation and constitutionality. Then, the Patriot Philosophical Voice (PPV) was heard echoing through the vines of the blizzard cold. The human being shall fight itself not to be the worst of itself or push the worst of its being onto others without patriotic expectations of push backs and resistance. Humans can only take that much before nothing means nothing to them anymore. Isn’t the wisdom of power testing the waters, knowing when to stop, knowing when to pull back or change course? Isn’t being intelligent the power of optimal positive measurement, proportionality, and balance, knowing to get in when the time is right or get out before it’s too late, or balancing contravening counterbalancing national interests in an intervention, or making sure leaders don’t jeopardize positive opportunities, national intelligence gathering, or act against national interest or betray the intentions of national allies? If protocols means nothing and caution is trashed, and veils are opened, how compromising can that be, that top diplomats speak undiplomatically, that vanguard are spin guards, that the priest is the abuser, that the leader is the follower, that transactionalism betrays patriotism, that power abdicates its responsibilities, or that humanity is replaced with apathy, that greatness is replaced with confusion, inconsistencies, mediocrity, emptiness, and bravado? A time comes when the king is tired, when the kingdom is torn apart, when citizens or subjects are divided against themselves, when the instruments of governments are dysfunctional, when the kingdom is stretched, when the people are stressed out, when the coffers are empty, when the system is overwhelmed with scandals, incompetence, inefficiency, and ineffectiveness, or when corruption replaces correction. It cometh to pass, dear one, that hope could not be taken away, that hope became the mustard seed, that the love for country remained patriotically strong, that the fundamentals of the constitutionality of the separation of powers was still standing, that the economy wasn’t that weakened, that the levers of government wasn’t that broken, that the will of The People was still strong, and that the flag of the Greatest might was still standing tall, bold, strong, courageous and brave. The People never backed down. It shall be reminded to thee, dear one, that Hope is the Gene Code of America’s Founding. The American People are always ready to build again, to trust one another again, to continue in the footsteps of Fallen American Heroes, and to keep the unbroken bond that holds us together in love for country or in tolerance for one another. Doubt not Americans when pushed to the wall in their resolve or resilience or resistance against Unpatriotic Divisive Forces (UDF). The American People are respectful in their Patriot Resolve, in their refusal to be violent, hateful, disruptive, distrustful, or destructive in the face of oppression or state power against them. Righteous Nonviolent Indignation (RNI) is all that is asked of them to participate in a participatory Democracy. The People knew the country was theirs, that they could hire or fire their leaders, and that they could stand up against tyranny or dictatorial or authoritarian inclinations. The people knew they can’t back down, allow themselves to be pushed around, or accept the intimidation, brutality, show of brute force or the use of cruel force against peaceful Americans. It was the system with all the power, military might, and power of the purse against a Resolute Resistance Citizenry (RRC) standing up and pushing back nonviolently, to save their republic from the unconstitutionality of a cells within the system. A system that has survived 250 years of pressure, shocks, crises, uprising, terror, wars, oppression, and edicts from very oppressive, cruel and tyrannical forces of the British colonial past shall never surrender its right to freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness or dreams of an American better future. Remember thee, the British? The American People fought against the British colonials and won; The People fought against slavery and won; The People fought against the civil war and won; The People fought for the Rights Movements, The People fought labor, wages, healthcare, safety, security, equity, and against Never Ending Wars (NEW); and are still against racism, sexism, and bigotry. Forget thee not, dear one, The People’s Will – The American Patriot Resolve. For 250 years, Our Great Country has risen, endured, survived, thrived, and led, because of an enlightened republic, an informed citizenry, lovers of the Constitution, defenders of our homeland, keepers of our humane values, preservers of the rule of law, and champions of the rights of all. It’s always been the voice of The People, peacefully protesting, peacefully campaigning, and peacefully voting, to elect new leaders or votes against incompetence, inefficiency, ineffectiveness, corruption, nepotism, cronyism, immorality or illegality. Fear not power, else power can’t check or right itself. You have a country because of The People. When those with wealth, affluence, and status are corrupted by power or contracts, or are out to look the other way or turn a blind eye or choose to leave town and come back later when the dust is settled, Democracy is at its end or at the verge of devolution. Isn’t the failure of Democracy the beginning of autocracy? Isn’t the beginning of autocracy the beginning of tyranny? Isn’t the beginning of tyranny the beginning of monarchism? Isn’t Anarchism rooted in the devolution of monarchism, the revolution against One Man Rule (OML) that led to the evolution to the Constitutional Democracy that some are today taking for granted? Doesn’t autocracy lead to oligarchism or worse? You shall mourn thy freedoms when it’s gone. It’s in the hands of the people upon which Democracy rests, survives, and thrives. “Vote them in or vote them out” was the power given to the people by the Constitutionality of a liberal Democracy. Thanks to The American People, we are 250 years up, thriving, standing, and leading. Democracy survives by the power of The People – The Patriot Power not to be Silent or Silenced. Check those in Power, else there will be nothing left for the Founding Fathers to be proud of. All for Country. All for the Union, and Our Patriot Bond to the Flag and Country.
