Patriotism Essays (383 words) - Patriotism, Communism,

Where would our country be without patriotism? Where would we be without patriotism? Would we be living in a Communist county? Would we have freedom, rights and security? Those are questions you should think about. Patriotism was in the brave Patriots and our founding fathers who came together and built our nation. Patriotism still matters to this day because we?re all still patriots at heart. We still fight to support our freedom and security. How would you like to live in a nation that picks who you marry, chooses where to live, makes you work a job that you might not want to, and does not allow you the freedom to speak your mind? If the people who founded our country did not have patriotism in mind, that is how we would be living. Even in present time, if our soldiers do not have patriotism, we would have lost our freedom. The American Government and Armed Forces do their best to prevent the spread of Communism and replace Communist Governments with Democracy. Or how about 9/11/01, after the terrorists attacked, our country did not sit around and moan, we stood up and fought back and took charge to show that we will do something about it. Without patriotism, we would be ruled by Great Britain because we wouldn?t have successfully revolted against Great Britain?s government. Great Britain is allies with us, but with all due respect, we wouldn?t be free. Our government is divided into three branches. Not one branch has more or less power that the other. Our system of government is headed by a President rather than a King. I?m not too sure about Britain?s government but to my knowledge, I believe they are still ruled by a King. Again, with all due respect, I believe America is a more free, a safer, and stronger country than Great Britain. Patriotism just doesn?t still matter, it is essential to our country. Patriotism was present on the day our county was born, and will still be here until the end of the world. Patriotism is like water to a plant. When a plant is given water, it grows stronger. The same applies to patriotism. When patriotism remains present in our country, our country grows stronger.
