Let's say a Democrat is in office.  He decides he wants to attack Canada
because they may have WMD's, but we find later they don't.  You're saying that
you wouldn't make a questioning statement such as, "I was taught that America
was good, that America was just."  etc.  I agree with her statements above. I
love America very much, and I fly my flag. 

Theodore Roosevelt said, "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. "
