"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

--U.S. President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Theodore Roosevelt.

it is an excellent quote.
Alas some other great American when leading a toast said;

"To our country; may she always be in the right, but to our country none the less!"
I sometimes think thats how a lot of people think, that to question there nation is wrong, that it shows some lack of comitment. Ironic, because the USA was born when a few brave people stood up and asked questions..


I also like this one from Jefferson (quoting from memory here) speaking about croporation and Companies:

"I hope at some point something is done to stop these new aristocracies before they too strangle our new found republic"
