We can have no '50-50' allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The average American is nothing if not patriotic.
No man surely has so short a memory as the American.
The allegiance of the citizen, in the only sense in which the word can be tolerated in a republic, is due to the law. What idea other men may have of a law higher than the supreme law, I know not. Like the notion of the Stoics concerning Fate, it is perfectly incomprehensible.
Let's do more than say the 'Pledge of Allegiance.' Let us live it!
One can not be an American by going about saying that one is an American. It is necessary to feel America, like America, love America and then work.
We strain to tell Americans and aliens in this country that there's nothing unique about America, nothing unique about American civilization, nothing that requires their allegiance, nothing of great value that they should sacrifice for.
Any time the country is split 50/50, the leader is wrong.
No man can be a patriot on an empty stomach.
Because there is very little honor left in American life, there is a certain built-in tendency to destroy masculinity in American men.
I am not an American; I am the American.
