REPUBLICAN WISDOM

In today's column, Jimmy Breslin profiled one of the protesters in yesterday's demonstrations who carried the mock coffins in showing the human toll of the misguided (and illegal) war in Iraq. He also cited one of my favorite quotes:

"To announce that there should be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, it is not only unpatriotic and servile, but it is morally treasonable to the American people." — Theodore Roosevelt (Kansas City Star, May 7, 1918)
