looking for a quote

[OctoberRevolution]

I am looking for the quote that talks about a patriot having the right to take there government if it's doing wrong...

Anyone have an idea??

[Sandanista]

Cant remember who said it:

"Love the country, love the president only if he deserves it"

I think it was Mark Twain, to be honest its nationalist bullshit.

...that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. ----Thomas Jefferson Declaration of Independence

Look up Locke and that thing he wrote after the Glorious Revolution. I forget its name... "on something to do with the state ect"
