The very flag of freedom that waves over our heads is formed from material cultivated by slaves, on soil moistened with their blood drawn from them by the whip of a republican taskmaster!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it's marked by the blood of those who died defending it.
The American flag is the symbol of our freedom, national pride and history.
Our flag is not just one of many political points of view. Rather, the flag is a symbol of our national unity.
It is the will of the American people that we have a right to protect our flag and this can only be accomplished by passing a Constitutional amendment.
The American flag is an enduring symbol of liberty, democracy, and justice. It is fitting that the House act to protect it as we approach our nation's birthday, and as our men and women in uniform rally behind it in Iraq's battlefields.
There are those who wrap themselves in flags and blow the tinny trumpet of patriotism as a means of fooling the people.
I love a bit of flag-waving.
Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.
The American flag is the most recognized symbol of freedom and democracy in the world.
Bastard Freedom waves Her fustian flag in mockery over slaves.
