For
those confused or disheartened by the current administrations latest focus on
non-issues, please be assured Teddy Roosevelt has got your back:
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 in so far 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 about any one else–save in the rare cases where this would make
known to the enemy information of military value which would otherwise be
unknown to him.
