>LOYALTY
The owner of the business for which I ever worked, years ago, was a World War II veteran who was like a second "dad" to me, so his values became mine in the best of ways.
On the wall of an employee break room he hung a poster depicting a 1942 poem onLOYALTYby Elbert Hubbard.

Although the hanging of this poem inside the break room could possibly be viewed by skeptics as the boss's way of "programming" us employees, it had exactly the opposite effect: it made us all love the guy even more.
It was the boss's way of saying, "You work for me and my business. You're free to leave but if you're part of the team please be a team player."
I have to say that this Elbert Hubbard poem was very influential on me, and made me the loyal Anon I am today.
Simply stated: I don't associate with anyone whose values are contrary to mine, and I am loyal as a bloody dog to those whose values are aligned with mine.
When this boss of mine passed away, 40 years after I met him, his funeral was full of many of us old employees, from the 1970s, because we all stayed loyal to the hero, over the years, and we loved him very much, long after we no longer worked at his place of business.
I often compare that "first boss" of mine to President Trump and his team, because the sense of loyalty I feel for all good patriots is very similar to what I felt when I read the Elbert Hubbard poem each day I went to work.
Speaking of loyalty, in case you missed it, President Trump issued an awesome Proclamation regardingLOYALTY AND LAW DAY, U.S.A., 2025on May 1, 2025.
Anon joins in the Proclamation issued by President Trump yesterday, recognizing Loyalty Day and Law Day, U.S.A., 2025 and stating, in part:
[W]e reaffirm our loyalty to the Constitution, and we renew our pledge to preserve and protect our glorious inheritance of fairness, equality, and freedom against all threats, foreign and domestic.
. . .
Tragically, in recent years, our constitutional heritage faced an existential threat from a political class that abandoned justice in favor of political retribution. Under the previous administration, Federal law enforcement agencies outrageously allowed violent criminals to roam our streets with impunity while targeting parents, churchgoers, political opponents, and ordinary citizens. This weaponization of our Government is a threat to our sovereignty and is antithetical to our Nation’s most sacred principles, reminiscent of evil communist regimes.
. . .
Today, we acknowledge that our commitment to the constitutional rule of law is our pride, our glory, and an enduring source of American greatness. We recognize that love of country requires loyalty to country — and that a Nation without the free and impartial rule of law is not a Nation at all. Above all, we vow to usher in a new era of justice, integrity, and honor in our culture, in our courtrooms, and in our halls of Government.

BOTTOM LINE - in a country full of treasonous bastards, stay loyal to The United States of America, The United States Constitution, and the good guise.
