So true. If you go back to Thomas Paine and others like him, any reasonable person must conclude a TRUE patriot is a CRITIC, who isn't afraid to complain when he sees the government not acting in the best interests of the people. People who condemn the critics of poor government are better suited being subjects of a king or an emperor.
I suspect our friend Weasel would have been on the King's side all those years ago.
