"Evangelical?"  Is the pot calling the kettle black?

Here's a quote for you:

especially the least knowledgeable and least intelligent individuals within
those groups."   -- Clark Coleman

   Some of the washrooms in various UofT buildings have older hand dryers,
for which the directions are very verbose.  Occasionally you'd find one with
certain words and/or letters in the description scratched out, thus spelling
out the following phrase:

   "Hold nob.

How about the following quote from the famous opening scene (you know, the one
with the pearl-handled revolvers and the flag-draped background)?

"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country -- he won it by making
 the OTHER poor bastard die for HIS country."

Is this also a real quote by Gen. George S. Patton, Jr., or is it a piece of
fiction invented by the movie?

I have 5 books of quotations sitting on my shelf, and not one of them even
mentions Patton.

The two Patton quotes I know of are:

(1)  "I want you to get that man out of bed right away. Get him back
      to the front.  I won't have these men who are really wounded
      see that man babied so."  

      This, of course, is his famous 'chewing-out' of the injured soldier
      (who had shell-shock supposedly), for which Patton was forced to 
      make a public apology.

(2)   "Dear Ike, today I spat in the Seine."
      
      Supposed to have been the post-script to his formal military
      report to Eisenhower after crossing the Seine.  Some variants
      substitute 'pissed' for 'spat'.

Quotes are from 'The Little, Brown Book of Anecdotes' edited by Clifton Fadiman.

I believe that Dr. Johnson had in mind precisely the interpretation
you suggest. When confronted with the depravity of his conscience and
the odiousness of his way, a scoundrel will seize upon Patriotism as
his final justification. (Whereas, the incompetent will become
violent.) These sayings are, to use your phrase, about X more than

     Now that there have been a great number of quotes by Dorothy Parker
