I never said that dissenting is NOT patriotic. I'm saying that dissent for the sake of dissenting is not patriotic. It isn't the dissent that makes it patriotic - as some folks seem to believe. It's the reason for the dissent. Hi again, Don. I never said that dissenting is NOT patriotic. I’m saying that dissent for the sake of dissenting is not patriotic.

A few dozen Jewish dissidents helped bring an end to the Soviet Union. So in the sense of my last commnent I think you can see that dissenting could be patrotic?

That's what I've been saying all along - not about Bush being a true dissident, but that he is staying true to his beliefs regardless of the popularity polls. He is definitely dissenting what the MSM is dishing out daily. I think that's what makes the liberals and the MSM so angry with him. They can't control him. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Russian dissentient who termed Bush a true dissentient for not caving in, but staying true to his beliefs. This Bush could care less about popularity pols. I read an article last week by a former?
