No. Patroits understand the Constitution and their rights under the Constitution. Part of understanding those rights also means that the Patriot is obligated to educate himself in order to think for one's self by expressing guarenteed freedoms. A "real" Patriot probably does not question authority but researches how authority is delegated and how laws and regulations are enforced within the guidelines of the Constitution.

Our country was founded by men who questioned authority... Remember the Boston Tea Party... that was an incident against the English Tea Tax to help the English Royalty pay their Royal Debts... at the expense of the lower class in the new world... and the Revolutionary War... against the English... that was an action against "authority."... And now we have a President who is wanting to rule this present day country outside the authority of our country's laws... and without Congress's approval... What would a real patriot do in this situation????

I believe Thomas Jefferson once said,"The tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots every twenty years for it to flourish"
What he means is that it is the duty of patriots to question the government to make sure that out liberty remains intact.

Real patriots question authority. True sheep do not.

Patriots believe that dissent is essential to distilling truth in political matters.
