"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, 26th US President (1858-1919)

"Now what I get a sense of from all of this -- and then topped obviously by spending all the money in 2000 to basically buy the election -- is that this is not a family (Bush) that has a particularly strong commitment to American democracy. Its sense of how to win elections comes out of a CIA manual, not out of the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution."
-- Kevin Phillips former Nixon staffer and author of "The Emerging Republican Majority.”


I love my country and because I do, I fear the president.
