Our loyalty is due entirely to the united states. it is due to the president only and exactly to the degree in which he efficiently serves the united states. it is our duty to support him when he serves the united states well. it is our duty to oppose him when he serves it badly. this is true about mr. wilson now and it has been true about all our presidents in the past. it is our duty at all times to tell the truth about the president and about every one else, save in the cases where to tell the truth at the moment would benefit the public enemy.

More From Theodore Roosevelt

The enemy of the black is not the white. the enemy of capitalist is not communist, the enemy of homosexual is not heterosexual, the enemy of jew is not arab, the enemy of youth is not the old, the enemy of hip is not redneck, the enemy of chicano is not gringo and the enemy of women is not men. we all have the same enemy. the enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind. the enemy is every expert who practices technocratic manipulation, the enemy is every proponent of standardization and the enemy is every victim who is so dull and lazy and weak as to allow himself to be manipulated and standardized.

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 inefficiency 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.
Country Truth Mean
I did not fire brian wilson from the beach boys. i cannot fire brian wilson from the beach boys. i am not his employer. i do not have such authority. and even if i did, i would never fire brian wilson from the beach boys. i love brian wilson. we are partners. he’s my cousin by birth and my brother in music.

I believe that there is something far nobler than loyalty to any particular man. loyalty to the truth as we perceive it - loyalty to our duty as we know it - loyalty to the ideals of our brain and heart - is, to my mind, far greater and far nobler than loyalty to the life of any particular man or god. . . .
Life Loyalty Believe
What do americans know about morality? they don't want their presidents to have penises but they don't mind if their presidents covertly arrange to support the nicaraguan rebel forces after congress has restricted such aid; they don't want their presidents to deceive their wives but they don't mind if their presidents deceive congress- lie to the people and violate the people's constitution!
Lying People Wife
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.

I know that nobody who hasn't been in battle or under attack can know what war is. but even in terms of being safe at home, it's also true that many americans who think they know what being at war is, don't. including, of course, george w. bush and his people. they don't have a clue.

Women who had discovered pants, low-heeled shoes, and loose sweaters during world war ii were reluctant to give them up in peacetime.

Christ and the life of christ is at this moment inspiring the literature of the world as never before, and raising it up a witness against waste and want and war. it may confess him, as in tolstoi's work it does, or it may deny him, but it cannot exclude him; and in the degree that it ignores his spirit, modern literature is artistically inferior. in other words, all good literature is now christmas literature.
War Degrees Doe
A people living under the perpetual menace of war and invasion is very easy to govern. it demands no social reform. it does not haggle over expenditures for armaments and military equipment. it pays without discussion, it ruins itself, and that is an excellent thing for the syndicates of financiers and manufacturers for whom patriotic terrors are an abundant source of gain.
