=>      Great speech by Mayor Ross C. "Rocky" Anderson of Salt 
=> Lake City.

=> - - - - - A patriot does not tell people who are intensely 
=> concerned about their country to just sit down and be quiet; 
=> to refrain from speaking out in the name of politeness or 
=> for the sake of being a good host; to show slavish, blind 
=> obedience and deference to a dishonest, war- mongering, 
=> human-rights-violating president.
=> 
=> That is not a patriot. Rather, that person is a sycophant. 
=> That person is a member of a frightening culture of 
=> obedience - a culture where falling in line with authority 
=> is more important than choosing what is right, even if it is 
=> not easy, safe, or popular. And, I suspect, that person is 
=> afraid -afraid we are right, afraid of the truth (even to 
=> the point of denying it), afraid he or she has put in with 
=> an oppressive, inhumane, regime that does not respect the 
=> laws and traditions of our country, and that history will 
=> rank as the worst presidency our nation has ever had to endure.
