Edward Abbey
“A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.”
Edward Abbey

H.L. Mencken
“The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.”
H.L. Mencken

Mark Twain
“Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.”
Mark Twain

Thomas Paine
“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.”
Thomas Paine

Theodore Roosevelt
“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”
Theodore Roosevelt
