DISSENT

A very good explanation of why "dissent is the highest form of patriotism" doesn't really work.

Oh yeah, and Thomas Jefferson never said that. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I always took the view that I didn’t care if Jefferson did say that, I don’t agree. What, I have to agree with everything someone says, I can’t disagree with a great man?

It’s cool to know he didn’t say it, but unfortunately the lie will continue and those of us who dispute it will be characterized as jingoistic shills.
