Understand this. Blind obedience to government is NOT patriotism. Blind unquestioning obedience to government is NOT loyalty to country. Defending your country from foreign aggression is patriotism, Defending your people from tyranny weather foreign or domestic is loyalty to country and patriotism. Believing you should obey government, believing you should not question is slavery.
Allowing government to dictate the inalienable rights and freedoms we are all born with is slavery. Human beings all have a built in instinct for freedom. Most of us understand that government was never grated authority by the people to usurp that freedom. The constitution was written to protect those freedoms from government tyranny and does not afford them any right or authority to restrict, suppress or dictate any of those rights under any circumstance. The constitution was written by people that knew that power corrupts and governments that grant themselves power will without the restraints of the constitution abuse that power and the rights and freedoms of the people. Loyalty to the rights and freedoms, and a willingness to lay down ones life to defend those rights and freedoms is the duty of all true patriots and good citizens. #provemewrong

"The constitution was written to protect those freedoms from government tyranny and does not afford them any right or authority to restrict, suppress or dictate any of those rights under any circumstance."
And an opposing opinion:
Debate in Virginia Ratifying Convention
1788 Elliot 3:89, 430--36, 439--42
[6 June]
George Mason:
Among the enumerated powers, Congress are to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises, and to pay the debts, and to provide for the general welfare and common defence; and by that clause (so often called the sweeping clause) they are to make all laws necessary to execute those laws. Now, suppose oppressions should arise under this government, and any writer should dare to stand forth, and expose to the community at large the abuses of those powers; could not Congress, under the idea of providing for the general welfare, and under their own construction, say that this was destroying the general peace, encouraging sedition, and poisoning the minds of the people? And could they not, in order to provide against this, lay a dangerous restriction On the press? Might they not even bring the trial of this restriction within the ten miles square, when there is no prohibition against it? Might they not thus destroy the trial by jury?

Although I am familiar with the U. S. Constitution. Iam refering to the Australian constitution in this comment. I would more than happily stand in defense of freedom anywhere in the world. Stand strong America you won the fight for freedom before and will again.
