| 2. Read the Proceedings at Nuremburg . . . |

and you'll know that such questioning has nothing to do with patriotism and all to do with what is right and proper in the modern world.

"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 inefficiency 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"
Makes you long for the days when a World Leader was expected to have brains.

Who in their right mind can stand by and let the RW ruin this great country?
