Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
From my father's point of view, without a thought for self, a true patriot stands up against the stones of condemnation and speaks for those who are given no real voice in the halls of justice or the halls of government.
The patriot who feels himself in the service of God, who acknowledges Him in all his ways, has the promise of Almighty direction, and will find His Word in his greatest darkness.
Never was patriot yet, but was a fool.
A man who says that no patriot should attack the war until it is over... is saying no good son should warn his mother of a cliff until she has fallen.
The very idea of true patriotism is lost, and the term has been prostituted to the very worst of purposes. A patriot, sir! Why, patriots spring up like mushrooms!
If I had to describe myself, I wouldn't use words like 'hero.' I wouldn't use 'patriot,' and I wouldn't use 'traitor.' I'd say I'm an American and I'm a citizen, just like everyone else.
It is lamentable, that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.
Patriotism. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name.
For me, the definition of a patriot is someone who is willing to constantly question the government; that's what separates us from other countries.
I'm a patriot in the truest sense of the word.
