Just watched "One Bright Shining Moment" a documentary about George McGovern [View all]
and a quote of his stuck with me:
“The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher standard.”
This quote was actually part of a criticism of a fellow Democrat and then current President Johnson regarding the escalation of the Vietnam war.
I cannot recommend the film enough
