QOTD: "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." – Mark Twain
Bonus QOTD: "Because the president has failed to lead on this matter, your group has secretly met for months and not consulted with members of this Committee about major changes to our nation’s immigration laws. The time for transparency has come. Given the Majority’s rushed timetable, we believe it is time for you to discuss the status of your negotiations, disclose what concessions have been made, and provide details to members of the Judiciary Committee as well as the entire Republican Caucus." --Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)

Close, but not quite Mark Twain.
Twain wrote this in 1905 about Czarist Russia:
"There are twenty-five million families in Russia. There is a man-child at every mother’s knee. If these were twenty-five million patriotic mothers, they would teach these man-children daily, saying: 'Remember this, take it to heart, live by it, die for it if necessary: that our patriotism is medieval, outworn, obsolete, that the modern patriotism, the true patriotism, the only rational patriotism, is loyalty to the nation ALL the time, loyalty to the government when it deserves it,'"
It's sad that the United States of today must be compared to that.
