Ron Paul On Patriotism

[Erazmus]

This is Ron Paul on the House floor speaking about patriotism. I think it's from May 22nd. Very good stuff. Just wanted to make sure people saw it, if they haven't already.

He hit the nail on the head with this one.

Unquestioned loyalty to the state is especially demanded in times of war. Lack of support for a war policy is said to be unpatriotic. Arguments against a particular policy that endorses a war, once it is started, are always said to be endangering the troops in the field. This, they blatantly claim, is unpatriotic, and all dissent must stop. Yet, it is dissent from government policies that defines the true patriot and champion of liberty. - Ron Paul
