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)

Taken from a list of best-ever quotes (read 'best-ever American-only quotes'), the words of Teddy Roosevelt. I hold that the message he sent is absolutely valid; it's a simple, ineluctable truth. I lament that so many people are blind to it.

Or if you can't criticize them, you can always make fun of them.

I laughed. Then I thought about it. And then it just gave me chills. *shudder*
