"No wonder scoundrels find refuge in patriotism; it offers them immunity from criticism." -- Bill Moyers (b. 1934-06-05), on polls showing that many Americans would support a restriction of free speech especially if against speech held to be unpatriotic, 2004-09-11, speech to the Society of Professional Journalists (apparently referring to Ambrose Bierce's 1946 edit of Samuel Johnson's remark about patriotism: "In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer, I beg to submit that it is the first.")
