I applaud our President for taking on this tough issue which wins him no brownie points from anyone just like he tried to do with Social Security.

You applaud him for creating a lose-lose situation for America?

You applaud him for giving Democrats ground they have no business gaining?

You applaud him for vetoing the will of the overwhelming majority of the members of his own party?

You applaud him for making a mockery of American sovereignty and the rule of law?

Well said.

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 inefficiently or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.
