Wouldn't you like redistribution of wealth from those two families?

Did you go to college and take any business courses? I certainly did. In fact they teach this stuff in accounting 101 during your freshman year.
(The "best part" is you are calling liberals as progressives)
Really, you should learn real history. Progressives of the early 20th century were "liberals", ie-socialist lite.
Since you are ignorant of these facts, I doubt you will ever get it.
According to historian William Leuchtenburg:
The Progressives believed in the Hamiltonian concept of positive government, of a national government directing the destinies of the nation at home and abroad. They had little but contempt for the strict construction of the Constitution by conservative judges, who would restrict the power of the national government to act against social evils and to extend the blessings of democracy to less favored lands. The real enemy was particularism, state rights, limited government.[4]

I know this is what you said also but i was'nt sure whether you read it correctly! You state here that a patriot supports and follows those laws that government slates into being and I will quote "Does it mean they have to adhere to those laws even if they don't agree with them? Yes, it does. If you do not adhere to the laws that exist, you are subject to whatever punishment exists for breaking those laws."
Sometimes we have to know when a law is unjust and as such needs to be ignored and changed! If we agree to being punished, executed or terrorized by a tyrannical and oppressive government I believe we will be unable to change this! As per the up coming elimination of the right to bare arms would restrict our ability to fight a oppressive and tyrannical government! When peaceful revolution becomes impossible violent revolution becomes necessary! To agree to follow unjust laws is oppressive and this is exactly what those elected officials have become! When we are no longer able to get our candidates (the peoples) to participate in primaries or allow third parties to debate we no longer have the democratic process which we don't! If every time we reach for an objective the objective is changed then we are without ethics or justice, then something has to be done as the line to change is moved to prevent it's change then what options do we have?
You can call me a traitor for my inhibitions in following unjust laws and you can consider yourself a patriot but when you are allowing for the oppression of the masses and I am fighting against this oppression then who is the
supporter of the country and the so called patriot here?

Weather I like it or not doesn't matter.
Being a "traitor" to a tyrannical government doesn't entirely sound the same as being a traitor to your nation. It's not the same thing. But, this is a pretty pointless argument to pursue, so I'll leave it be now.
Just one last thing; just because people want to govern their own lives doesn't make them traitors.

Nazi Germany is a good example.
Read the book, "The Arms of Krupp".

You seem to have a hard time with reading comprehension.
For the second time, I did not say we have "facism".
Do you know what a qualifier is in English grammar?
I said we have a "facist ECONOMY", cited why, which is a big difference between it and "facism".
Please do learn the difference, and what a qualifier is.

They are traitors to the corporation "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, INC." but they are heros to everyone else. Why the hell would anyone want to continue down the path of certain destruction is beyond me.
Americans had their chance at the ballot box quite a bit, and each and every time they sucked up the msm propaganda and voted big party. They never gave libertarians, constitutionalists, socialists, greens, etc a chance. The media is what failed america, and the polticians come second.
If and when states start seccedding from this corporate union, the federal reserve will eventually get fully exposed for what it is, along with the IRS, INC, the big banks that hold shares in that enterprise, the scum politicians and the scum media for what they are.
Secession is probably the only resort left! I enjoy being a traitor to satan and a patriot to god. What about you?

Why don't you look it up? Maybe then you can come up with a reasonable rebuttal. US is a corporation. It's members are controlled by statutes, which are corporation policy, not law. Go ahead, be a patriot to your corporation, and I'll be a patriot to the Republic that we used to have before the seats were vacated. Good to know we have now identified what you stand for.
No dear, you are twisting the twistings of the twistings of the talking heads

Yes, there IS a redistribution of wealth. Maybe you think that statement is entirely relevated to direct labor, but then what truly is the difference, since labor is the mechanism whereby a product is made?
Take two people. One has ill health and the other healthy. THe individual who is healthy works and the individual who is not does not work. Thus in the Communist way, the labor of the worker is divided "evenly" between the two and nobody starves. This is their view of equality. And that is the definition of redistribution of wealth.
It manifests in many ways.
Take the public educational system. One family has kids and one family does not, yet both have to pay the school taxes so the one family can be educate.
How fair is that? It is taking one family's income and transferring it to another. How about familiies who pay no taxes and send their kids to public school? That is true redistribution.
Now barack wants to redistribute more of our income so he can pretend he is saving the country with Nationalized healthcare.
The whole thing is a scam. Everyone gets dragged down. And who makes off with the profit? Why the Federal Reserve does.

If they secede, then yes, it DOES make them a traitor. If they stay and fight and work to make changes, then they are patriots. That's the way it works. It's really not that complicated. They want the title but don't want the work that goes with it.

By burning down the media outlets? By cheating in the elections?
How can we beat the propaganda machine? This is what keeps the two party monopoly perpetually going.
You just like empty rhetoric and aggrivating folks. We get it!

Number 1, the United States isn't a corporation, It's a nation. The incorrect stating of something doesn't make it true.
Number 2, this isn't an issue of God and Satan.
Number 3, if I choose to secede, I would be a traitor of the United States. If I feel the need to secede, then I will be comfortable with what it makes me. I wouldn't secede then scream that I'm a patriot, they are opposing things.
There have been times and will be times again when I am not a patriot. I will not scream at the top of my voice that I am one if I am not.

Are you now going to dispute the validity of an official source? That would be the first time that someone that has total faith in government turns around and says its invalid. I guess anything is possible though!

Man, if I was sitting on the fence over the idea of separation/secession, the last couple of pages on this thread would definitely knock me over onto the side that says DO IT. Everybody could just move to the place that does it the way they think is best and pretty soon we'll see who got it right.
That would beat the heck out of clawing each others eyes out (verbally) over definitions.
