31.  They want loyalist
Patriot, loyalist or worse yet in assault of liberty
By PHILIP C. RESTINO
COMMUNITY VOICES

Being a loyalist is easy. Being a patriot takes the courage to speak out in protest, albeit courage that any one of us can muster. Mark Twain wrote, "In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."

During these very troubling times in our country's history when our basic liberties are under attack, we can choose to be a patriot, a loyalist or worse yet, to continue to sit it out.
