I believe that it was Mark Twain that said it quite well:

"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time,
and your government when it deserves it"

I have a real problem with this new "soundbite" that some idiots in government and many MSM talking heads are using that basically labels anyone that questions the presidents "will" and his illegal activities, a terrorism supporter

While I may disagree with the original assessment of Mr Sheens qualifications, I do believe everyone in the US is guaranteed at least one right - and that is the ability (I truthfully actually believe its every American citizens responsibility) to speak out freely against the actions of their government. Unfortunately, most agencies and leaders within the current government tend to hold an opposite view and work on a continuous basis to stifle and strongarm citizens' viewpoints.

An old story used to talk about "Reality Control" as a method for running wars and controlling the masses - I believe today that method has been renamed a little to "pre-emptive media massage" - but it still accomplishes the same - Doublespeak
