Q Post 3520 Google and definition of Patriot," Enemy of the People. Q" I have an OLD dictionary with the correct definition. A couple of years ago I bought an OLD dictionary because I know as time goes by dictionaries can change the meanings of words and not always for the better. The dictionary I bought is the Websters American 1828 Dictionary. These definitions came from that dictionary. Patriot, noun, A person who loves his Country and zealously supports and defends it and its interests. Patriot, adjective, Patriotic; devoted to the welfare of one's Country; as Patriotic zeal. Patriotism, noun, Love of one's Country, either in defending it from invasion, or protecting its rights and maintaining its laws and institutions in vigor and purity. Patriotism is the characteristic of a good citizen, the noblest passion that animates a man in the character of a citizen. "Noah Webster: One of America’s well-known Colonial Americans began his career as a school teacher, using the Bible as his most valued textbook. Noah Webster was born in Connecticut and came of age during the American Revolution. He was educated at Yale University, and when he lacked the funds for further studies, he became a teacher. His early impressions of Colonial classrooms were disparaging--they were crowded, disorganized and poorly equipped. But he continued to teach because he believed that the children of our new nation should be taught to honor God’s Word and to learn the moral laws in the Scriptures. He also believed that Americans should have American books from which to learn spelling and grammar. His “blue-backed speller” (so nicknamed for its colorful cover) became the standard for school children for over 100 years. He later developed our country’s first dictionary because he believed that all Americans should speak distinctly American English, not British English. In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed. Noah Webster" AS YOU CAN SEE Websters definitions are VERY different and more positive than the Liberal and distorted definition from GOOGLE which says, "Patriot, Synonyms, Nationalist, Loyalist, Isolationist and Xenophobe."
