Patriotism is not 'my country right or wrong'; patriotism means loving the ideals for which America stands and having the courage to speak up when these ideals are distorted for personal or political gain. The American government was instituted to be the servant of the people, not our master. - Robert A. Heinlein
The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance. - Robert A. Heinlein
