Last week, The Wall Street Journal dropped a bombshell when it reported that Russian government hackers located confidential National Security Agency material improperly stored on an employee's home computer with help from Kaspersky antivirus, which happened to be installed. On Tuesday, The New York Times and The Washington Post provided another shocker: the Russian hackers were caught in the act by spies from Israel, who were burrowed deep inside Kaspersky's corporate network around the time of the theft.

    I have to disagree.

    I love my homeland, my country, the United States. There is nothing in my nature that says I have to love my government, or any administration in charge of that government. In fact - careful reading of our constitution, and the various papers and letters penned by our founding fathers warns us NOT to love our government. The whole constitution was designed to protect us - you, me, all of us - FROM government.

    Long story short, it would be unpatriotic if you failed to love the people. It is also unpatriotic to support the government without question.

    If the current government were to be dissolved, and replaced with something new and different, our country, our people would still be the same. All of that is what we should love and support, not some corrupt government.
