On the name change and new background photo…

I am sure that you might have noticed, I changed the blog name and changed the background here on the blog, until the Israel/Gaza conflict is over.

Here’s the reasons:

  1. I changed the name from “The Americanist” to “The American Patriot” for a good reason; simply put, “The Americanist” sounded silly and plus, I wanted something that was easier to say. Plus, it is a better reflection of what I truly am.
  2. I changed the American Flag background to a American Flag to a Israeli flag with an American flag for a good reason: I am not a Zionist, nor am I a neoconservative or a warmonger — However, I am a Christian, and I happen to believe that Israel does have a right to exist and has a right to defend itself from terrorist thug jerks who are firing rockets into their Country. The reason this conflict is happening is because two kids from Israel were kidnapped near Gaza by Hamas; and then two kids from Gaza were kidnapped by extremists in Israel. Israel and Palestine both said they would investigate and arrest those who did the killing. Well, this was not good enough for Hamas; and they started firing rockets into Israel. Well, Israel decided enough was enough and began as operation in Gaza. So, I am taking a stand against Hamas and against the terrorists who are firing rockets into Israel.

I am sure that there are those who might have an issue with my position — I have one thing to say about that: So be it. I did not start writing to win popularity contests, I began writing because I wanted to stand up against what I felt was wrong; and lobbing missiles into Israel is simply wrong. If this causes any other Paleoconservatives heartburn, too damned bad.  

On my blog’s subtitle is a saying that I basically made up and it is:

There comes a time, when one must chose between madness and morality, repression or freedom, liberty or chains —- I tend to believe that I am on the right side of those choices.

This and this alone is why I have the Israeli flag in my background; not because I am a rabid Zionist, not because I am a neoconservative, not because I am anything other than a Christian Conservative American that happens to believe that the bullying of a nation by terrorists happens to be morally wrong. If and when the Israeli/Gaza conflict ends, I will return the background to the American flag. However, for now; the flag stays.

I mean and not to belabor the point; but, if someone, like Mexico, began lobbing missiles into California, I tend to believe that the US response would be a brutal one and I tend to believe that the liberal left would be calling for war. However, these same liberals are totally biased against Israel, which is why I no longer vote for them, at all.
