"Patriotic citizens will take into account the consequences of exercising their right to criticize."

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

---Teddy Roosevelt

Nice quote.

There is a world of difference between opposing tactics or policies and calling for American surrender. Roosevelt understood this. He never protected those who wanted the US withdraw once we were at war with Germany.
