That lyric is also a reference to Samuel Johnson, a Scottish political writer of the 18th century, who wrote that patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. There was an immediate rebuttal that patriotism is actually the *first* refuge of the scoundrel, which I tend to agree with personally and is probably closer to what Dylan was getting at, rather than what Johnson intended. I find it difficult to trust "patriotism". It's too easily abused.

"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." - S. Johnson

[@TonyPartington]

@@Duncan_Idaho84 You've no idea who Samuel Johnson was? Well, allow me to educate you. Samuel Johnson (18 September 1709 - 13 December 1784 was an English writer, philosopher, politician, political analyst and commentator. The comment derives from the following: On the evening of 7 April 1775, he made a famous statement: "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel."[8] The line was not, as is widely believed, about patriotism in general but rather what Johnson saw as the false use of the term "patriotism" by William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham (the patriot minister) and his supporters. Johnson opposed most "self-professed patriots" in general but valued what he considered "true" patriotism. History is so fascinating and you can learn so much and truly broaden you horizons. Investigate Samuel Johnson, he was an interesting guy. Cheers! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Johnson

Japanese, working in Texas. Back home, the same party has been in power for ¾ of a century, despite scandals and corruption. In the states, the corporations run both parties and give the illusion of choice. Look up the ratchet effect. In either case, trumps words should have alone caused his party to disown him. Lastly, the US is the only country using the presidential system that hasn't yet devolved into dictatorship at some point in its history. They need to switch to the Swiss system or a parliamentary system with MMP. one person shouldn't be in charge of the whole executive branch (and beyond if using executive orders and nukes).
