Amplify’d from lewrockwell.com
a country works reasonably well – when the schools teach algebra
and not governmentally mandated Appropriate Values, when the police
are scarce and courteous, when government is remote and minds its
business and works more for the benefit of the country than for
looters and special interests, then pledging to it a degree of allegiance
isn't foolish. Decades back America was such a country, imperfect
as all countries are, but good enough to cherish.
As decline
begins, and government becomes oppressive, self-righteous, and ruthless
yet incompetent, as official spying flourishes, as corruption sets
in hard, and institutions rot, it is time to disengage. Loyalty
to a country is a choice, not an obligation. In other times people
have loved family, friends, common decency, tribe, regiment, or
church instead of country. In an age of national collapse, this
is wise.
