Is the concept of patriotism applicable to country or government?
I don't even call myself a patriot anymore, because I'm tired of being misunderstood. I'd rather let them have the word.
Then I can use the quote from Samuel Johnson: "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel."
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain--that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." --Lysander Spooner, 1867
