I prefer this quote

There is nothing patriotic about hating your country, or pretending that you
can love your country but despise your government. There is nothing heroic
about turning your back on America, or ignoring your own responsibilities.

Subject: de Tocqueville Quote

Given the discussion today about war powers and that we're in a War on
Terrorism, I found it somewhat amusing to find this Alexis de
Tocqueville quote, and how apt it is:

All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation
ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish
it.
Alexis de Tocqueville


Does anyone know if Bush or Cheyney has read de Tocqueville?
