"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.” - Edward Abbey
“The government is merely a servant -- merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.” - Mark Twain
A true patriot is willing to speak out to protect the ideals on which this country was founded, even if it means dissent or disagreement with the government and it's policies. - me
