who serves who?

A gentle reminder or two:
From Websters:
Patriotism: Noun. Love of and devotion to one's country.
Note: The word government, president, etc. are not in that definition.

In the U.S., the President and the government serve the people. Not the other way around. Don't ever, ever forget that.

We bitch about the current administration. Fine. It has problems. The larger problem is that it was voted in by the people of this country. The force(s) of change must focus on that.
