my adorable father

My father recently wrote a letter to the editor of his local paper:

In going through my quotation file I came upon one written in 1918 by President Theodore Roosevelt.
I find it very appropriate for the time in which we're living: "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American people."
