Dissent Now Unpatriotic 'Dissent was SO patriotic not so long ago, wasn't it? Dissent against war, dissent against torture, dissent against wiretapping, dissent against Gitmo, dissent against rendition, dissent against government abuse of power. In fact, now-Secretary of State Clinton was quite vocal on the matter back in the day: "I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. And we should stand up and say we are Americans, and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!" Right On, Hillary! You Go, Girl! Why is that all different now? I thought she said anyadministration. Heard plenty of cheers then. Only jeers now. Why is that? Wouldn't be a double standard, would it?'
