I know I've said it before, but from one of my favorite episodes of The West Wing:

Josh: I don't know, Toby, it's election night. What do you say about a government that goes out of its way to protect even citizens that try to destroy it?

Toby: God bless America.

What happened to that America? I don't even think we protect the citizens who criticize this country, much less try to destroy it.
