Proclamation on Loyalty Day, 2020
Issued on: April 30, 2020

The United States has been a strong Nation for more than two centuries not only because of the ideals that we share as a people, but also because of the love we have for our home and the loyalty we have for each other. From the beginning of our history and through trials of war and peace, Americans have always been filled with a devotion to freedom, a fierce spirit of independence, a courageous dedication to the cause of self-government, and a sacred commitment to our shared and glorious destiny. Together, we honor the wisdom of our Founders. We revere the words of our Constitution and our Declaration of Independence. We celebrate the heroes of our history and treasure the majesty of America’s natural beauty. We marvel at the achievements of American artists, scientists, engineers, inventors, business leaders, and pioneers. And we cherish the nobility of the American way of life.

Burns: "There's nothing wrong with American's being ordered to behave as patriotically as possible."

Reporter: "Doesn't patriotism have to come from the heart?"

Burns: "Thank goodness I don't have THAT problem."


TRUMP YOU F**K-FACED DIPS*IT! LOYALTY HAS TO BE EARNED, NOT DEMANDED!

He didn't write that thing. I would bet that he did not even read it. Someone read it to him.

This is bullshit. Trump is the most disloyal president we have ever had. He had dragged our Constitution and all our ideals through the mud. Fuck you, trump.

Is he demanding loyalty to His Royal Anus?

When we run for office here in Illinois, we have paperwork, of course. One of the things is a loyalty oath. It is optional.
