Theodore Roosvelt ON PATRIOTISM |
|
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiently or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.

He said that as a PROGRESSIVE.
Of course he would not be a repuke today... not even a member of the DLC... but an actual breathing PROGRESSIVE... going to the liberal side would be pushing it.
