"Loyalty to country always; loyalty to government when it deserves it" - Mark Twain
Twain's quote emphasizes that true patriotism is not blind allegiance to the government, but rather a thoughtful commitment to the principles and ideals that our nation was founded upon. While our love for our country should be constant and unwavering, loyalty to the government must be earned through its actions and policies.
When we stand together against injustice and legislation that infringes on our Constitutional Rights, we can ensure that the government genuinely represents the best interests of "We the People," rather than catering to the privileged elite.
