Cursed

.
True Patriots


“If I wished to put a curse on a nation, I would invoke the gods to decree that it be governed by those who consider themselves the only true patriots in it.”

—Sidney J. Harris (1917-1986), Chicago newspaperman, columnist and author. (Thanks to alert WORDster Skip Keyser)
