Dr. Johnson, in his dictionary, defined "Patriotism" as "The last resort of a Scoundrel". Ambrose Bierce, in his dictionary, maintained that Dr. Johnson erred, it is the first. Today, Dictionaries and Thesaurus' need to add two new definitions: "Patriot" = "Traitor", and "Patriotism" = "Sedition". This has been made necessary by how "Patriots" have envisioned themselves in recent times.
