Here are quotes by our founding fathers. These men DID love this country, but were wise enough to be able to differentiate between love of country and blind servitude to the government. You may want to take your cue from them OP!

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government."-----Patrick Henry

"We must all hang together, or, assuredly, we shall all hang separately." Benjamin Franklin at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

"Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God."--Thomas Jefferson

"If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin."---Samuel Adams

"It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government."---Thomas Paine

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does NOT mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."
---Theodore Roosevelt
