| Quote:The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.[George Patton] Quote:America is the only country ever founded on a creed.[GK Chesterton] Quote:We should enact an 'e' tax. Government agents would roam the country looking for stores whose names contained any word that ended in an unnecessary 'e,' such as 'shoppe' or 'olde,' and the owners of these stores would be taxed at a flat rate of $50,000 per year per 'e.' We should also consider an additional $50,000 'ye' tax, so that the owner of a store called 'Ye Olde Shoppe' would have to fork over $150,000 a year. In extreme cases, such as 'Ye Olde Barne Shoppe,' the owner would simply be taken outside and shot.[Dave Barry] Quote:Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:America is a country that doesn't know where it is going but is determined to set a speed record getting there.[Laurence Peter] Quote:Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't.

But voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.[Hermann Goering] Quote:'My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying 'My mother, drunk or sober.'[GK Chesterton] Quote:California is like an artificial limb the rest of the country doesn't really need. You can quote me on that.[Saul Bellow] Quote:I went out to the country so i could examine the simple things in life.[Henry Thoreau] Quote:A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue.[Daniel Webster] Quote:The prosperity of a country can be seen simply in how it treats its old people.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:Some of your countrymen were unable to distinguish between their native dislike for war and the stainless patriotism of those who suffered its scars. But there has been a rethinking and now we can say to you, and say as a nation, thank you for your courage.[Ronald Reagan] Quote:How can one conceive of a one-party system in a country that has over 200 varieties of cheeses?[Charles de Gaulle] Quote:America is the first country to have gone from barbarism to decadence without the usual intervening period of civilization.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Indeed it is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:The thing we all have to understand to put these last two years in focus, is that liberals in this country care more about whether European leaders like us than they do about whether terrorists are killing us.[Rush Limbaugh] Quote:When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.[Winston Churchill] Quote:And so, my fellow americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. [John F. Kennedy] Quote:Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.
