“Lesson number one in trying to develop the ability of independent thought: Understand that EVERYTHING the government says has the potential to be lies and deception. You can believe it's the truth only after you question, exhaust every avenue, and find that their story checks out. If you're a patriot, it's your duty to always question your government anyway, at every turn. A patriot is loyal to his country and his countrymen, not his government.” IfsTryingBelieveCountryStoriesGovernmentLyingTurnsPoliticsAbilityNumbersDutyLessonsIndependentChecksDeceptionLoyalPatriotAvenuesCountrymenIndependent ThoughtEvery Avenue Author:Derek R.
