Patriotism is easy to understand in America. It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.

Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency.

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.

Patriotism is usually stronger than class hatred, and always stronger than internationalism.

Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.
