Have you ever seen cows getting mad at a Cattle farmer? 99.9% of all cows in a cattle farm consider themselve free.

I consider patriotic not saying anything against the government if you think they are doing something wrong. Teddy Roosevelt, one of the greatest US Presidents in history, in my opinion, once stated he would be ashamed if no one criticized him and he said it is unpatriotic to not criticize the President or the government. America is about free speech and people should say whatever they want.

No. I think it is actually unpatriotic to not question our government's policies until you know the facts. For the most part, I think nationalism is dangerous and blinding.

Many people do consider it unpatriotic.
However, the Framers of the Constitution specifically put in provisions that protected political commentary, and according to letters written by the Founders, the specific reason is so that we could and should criticize our govt policies.
This is a democratic republic, which means the ultimate decision making power rests first in the people.
It's only fascist tyrannies where people are not allowed to question our leaders. Is that truly what we're becoming?

It depends who you ask.
In actuality though, it is far better for a country if it's people can identify and adjust a deteriorating government (this is done primarily through distaste with policy in a democratic capitalist state like the USA).
When anyone demands blind loyalty and total obedience to your nation, they are asking you to allow a government to fall further and further.

If you ask our president, it is. But, the fact is it's our DUTY to question our government's policies, and it would unpatriotic for us not to.

the easy American Freedoms that I grew up with are systematically being discarded by using layout and from time to time apathy. How else are you able to describe that Bush's pollnumbers are going up in the comparable week that it replaced into disclosed that the president approved spying by using the NSA on human beings and not using a warrant.

I belive that as a patriot you have a duty to ask the tough questions. However, as they tell us in the Army, if you got a problem come up with a plausible solution. Don't just b*tch to be b*tching, also think for youself, don't "tow the party line".

No, it's not.
Be glad you live in a country where you have the right to criticize your governments stance.
