Patriot, or love of country...

We may seem well read, and we are, but every now and then we stumble across some old writing, still new to us, that strikes a chord.

This one from Frederick Douglass, which we'll let go without further comment, other than to say we wish we had written it ourselves.

I make no pretension to patriotism. So long as my voice can be heard on this or the other side of the Atlantic, I will hold up America to the lightning scorn of moral indignation. In doing this, I shall feel myself discharging the duty of a true patriot; for he is a lover of his country who rebukes and does not excuse its sins.
