Quotes of the Day

"Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have." ~ Richard Salant, former President of CBS News


"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. ... Every man who parrots the cry of “stand by the President” without adding the proviso “so far as he serves the Republic” takes an attitude as essentially unmanly as that of any Stuart royalist who championed the doctrine that the King could do no wrong. No self-respecting and intelligent free man could take such an attitude." ~ Theodore Roosevelt
