"When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you."
George W. Bush
"America is the only country ever founded on a creed."
GK Chesterton
"The
Declaration of Independence
dogmatically bases all rights on the fact that God created all men equal; and it is right; for if they were not created equal, they were certainly evolved unequal. There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man."
GK Chesterton
"There is nothing the matter with Americans except their ideals. The real American is all right; it is the ideal American who is all wrong."
GK Chesterton
"America is an enormous frosted cupcake in the middle of millions of starving people."
Gloria Steinem
"This is a Christian nation."
Harry Truman
"The American temptation is to believe that foreign policy is a subdivision of psychiatry."
Henry Kissinger
"The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer."
Henry Kissinger
"The Vietnam War required us to emphasize the national interest rather than abstract principles."
Henry Kissinger
"No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."
Henry Mencken
"A Galileo could no more be elected president of the United States than he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both high posts are reserved for men favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter facts of life in bandages of self-illusion."
Henry Mencken
"In the United States, doing good has come to be, like patriotism, a favorite device of persons with something to sell."
Henry Mencken
"We need an America with the wisdom of experience. But we must not let America grow old in spirit."
Hubert H. Humphrey
"What we need are critical lovers of America - patriots who express their faith in their country by working to improve it."
Hubert H. Humphrey
"America...just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable."
Hunter S. Thompson
"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
James Madison
"America is a nation with many flaws, but hopes so vast that only the cowardly would refuse to acknowledge them."
James Michener
"You give me a credit to which I have no claim in calling me 'the writer of the Constitution of the United States.' This was not, like the fabled Goddess of Wisdom, the offspring of a single brain. It ought to be regarded as the work of many heads and many hands."
James Madison
"The United States is the only country with a known birthday."
James G. Blaine
"America is not like a blanket: one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt: many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread."
Jesse Jackson
