The "narrative" should be that government employees are "public servants" on the citizens payroll. Constitutionally, American citizens individually and collectively are the bosses of our government employees. The President is simply the leader of our servants—not our boss. Why should we admire, revere, and pay fealty to people who lead extravagant lives on our taxes? Members of congress work 3 days a week, have months of paid vacation ("recesses"), are treated as celebrities at extravagant dinners, sign autographs, and receive huge amounts of "donations" (bribes) to do the bidding of the super rich. This is "democracy"? "Washington is Hollywood for ugly people." They're ugly not only in their appearance, but in their sociopathic domestic and foreign policy.

For those not busy waving their flags and Bibles, please ponder the fact that the very first amendment the founders passed -- even more fundamental to their concept of a working republic than the right to self-defence -- was the freedom of speech and of the press. Any person not actively opposing the current wave of government-endorsed censorship and violence can in no way deem themselves a patriot.
