Happy Fourth
"You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it."
------Malcolm X
"When a whole nation is roaring Patriotism at the top of its voice, I am fain to explore the cleanness of its hands and purity of its heart."
------Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president."
------Theodore Roosevelt
ADDENDUM: Further thoughts from Orac and Pharyngula are well worth reading. Especially the early comments (though there are a few trolls, as usual).
