No - that's where you are wrong Hillary. It is the RIGHT of every patriot and/or citizen to question their government.

I'm sorry but you have placed the emphasis on the wrong syllable. Rights not exercized lead to catastrophe. It is the duty of any who worthy of the name Patriot, to question. If you weren't blind, you'd see. Those who don't question are an active danger to the nation. They are not patriots or citizens either. They are the enemy of freedom. They have chosen the death of passivity over the life of reason. Because your words lead to disaster they require challenge. Sorry. Stay out of the road.

No, I placed the right emphasis on the whole thing, Hillary. This concept of "duty to criticize" is BS. It is a RIGHT - no more, no less. Now if in your opinion someone who criticizes things, is a patriot - I don't have a problem with that if they really know what it is they are criticizing. The "duty", as you put it, is to stand up and do what is right and necessary to protect this nation. What you are implying by stating that it's a patriots "duty" means that if someone doesn't criticize their gov't they aren't a Patriot -which simply is not true. There are a lot of patriots who have not criticized the gov't. It's a RIGHT - nothing more, nothing less.

Well of course you especially have the talent and need to bury yourself deeper. Unfortunatley you are full of crap as usual. In the first place the duty to criticize does not imply that everything is criticized, only that everything is critiqued. And there are no patriots who have not criticized the government because not a day goes by without the governernment fing up. Clime down from your sophistical horse and smell the horse poop. The government will always need to be watched by real patriots. That you don't conprende indicates you aren't in that league. You are part of the problem. You are a toady and become more so every day as you raise greater and greater arguments to defend your position. You are one of those frightened types, perhaps, who feels that any silght flaw and everything will collapse. You are profoundly imperfect. Get used to it. Just try practicing sa
Nope- still not "duty" - just a right.

I didn't say you said that everything needed to be criticized - you implied that the lack of criticism means someone can't be a patriot. I'm saying that is BS. There are many patriots who do not criticize. Criticism isn't a requirement for being a patriot.
However, exercising one's right to criticize the gov't does not mean someone is a patriot either
Oh, and thanks for the projection, but I think you forgot to look in your mirror first. Are you so frightened that you are imperfect that you feel it necessary to say I am to blame?
