To me a real patriot is like a real friend. Who's your real friend? It's the person who tells you the truth. That's who my real friends are. So, you know, I think as far as our country goes, we need more people who will do that.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that a true patriot is someone who is honest and holds their country accountable. Similar to a real friend who tells you the truth, a genuine patriot is willing to speak up, even if it means acknowledging or addressing the flaws within their nation. The quote suggests that for a country to progress, it requires more individuals who are willing to identify and address its problems rather than turning a blind eye or blindly supporting it.
