Maybe you're just not using the right value of "patriot". I thought ehe Congressional dictionary defined a "patriot" as someone who worships the very ground that any member of Congress or the Presidential administration has trod on, has no greater ambition than to spend the remainder of their life accompanying their Congressman on their hands and knees licking clean the ground he or she is about to step on, and will gladly throw themselves down into puddles of toxic waste rather than allow one of these gods in human form to get their Manolo Blahnik shoes soiled.
Why, a true Patriot KNOWS that when his elected (for some values of "elected") representative (for some values of "represent") votes in favor of some legislation on a voice vote in order that there be no record of who actually cast the votes in favor, it's merely to protect this paragon of virtue and integrity's constituents from the necessity of selling their firstborn children into slavery in order to raise sufficient funds for a suitable honorarium to truly show their appreciation of how their Divine Manifestation In Human Form is serving their needs even if they don't realize they need to be so served.
After all, it couldn't POSSIBLY be that the slimy ratfinks aren't willing to go on the public record as having knowingly voted for legislation that's a blatant and obvious violation of the Fourth Amendment, could it?
