We Are All Americans

Republicans, rise up and declare the president a racist, someone whom you do not agree with, or be painted with the same brush.  The targeting of these women as unAmerican by virtue of the color of their skin, their religion, and their gender, and most importantly, because they disagree with him, is the definition of unpatriotic.  He is unAmerican.  It isn't just me who thinks these things are unacceptable.  Teddy Roosevelt said very clearly what is and is not patriotic. 
“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”
