"How dare you suggest that we, in the freest nation on earth, live in tyranny? How dare you call yourselves patriots and heroes? I say to you, all of you, there is nothing patriotic about hating your country or pretending that you can love your country but despise your government. There is nothing heroic about turning your back on America or ignoring your own responsibilities. If you want to preserve your own freedom, you must stand up for the freedom of others with whom you disagree, but you also must stand up for the rule of law. You cannot have one without other."
President Clinton in a graduation speech at Michigan State University, Spartan Stadium, East Lansing, Michigan at 1:30 in the afternoon on May the 5th of 1995.
My my... wonder if the Dems remember this one.....
