   >'Traitors' or not?   
      
   It is one thing to criticise a war, and quite another to help the   
   enemy win a war. The Bush family did not criticise WW II, but sold   
   goods to Nazi Germany. That was traitorous.  It is especially   
   treacherous to help the enemy merely for personal gain.   
      
   "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that   
   we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only   
   unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American   
   public."   
   ~ 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
