A Word From President Roosevelt

[Canary42]

"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

Some of course would brand him as an anti-American popinjay.

Well Bill Clinton fits the bill there. Wow. Didn't Teddy have wonderful foresight when we had the Kennedy clan and the Clintons in ascension? Amazing and astute man.

Clinton didn't efficiently serve his country? As I remember he actually left the budget in surplus, a feat achieved by few leaders anywhere.

Right. And the Kennedy mafia served themselves. Any skipper i/c PT109 would of ended in the brig at Portland Naval station for negligently killing some of his crew. No night watch when his command was rammed at night by a Japanese vessel.
Senator Joe Kennedy ,his cowardly ex ambassadeur to Britain, patriarch ensured he came out smelling of roses and a hero with gongs galore. Kennedy was no patriot and I am sure Roosevelt was not referring to that clan.

Retro - "would have..." not "would of..."
