He was a great patriot, a humanitarian, a loyal friend; provided, of course, he really is dead.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
From my father's point of view, without a thought for self, a true patriot stands up against the stones of condemnation and speaks for those who are given no real voice in the halls of justice or the halls of government.
Whatever you thought of his politics, Ronald Reagan was a great man, a courageous man. He took an assassin's bullet and joked to the doctors as they desperately worked to save his life.
I'm an advocate of the great Dr. Johnson, the English man of letters who said that patriotism was the last refuge of the scoundrel.
Nothing so comforts the military mind as the maxim of a great but dead general.
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.
He was what I often think is a dangerous thing for a statesman to be - a student of history; and like most of those who study history, he learned from the mistakes of the past how to make new ones.
He is dead in this world who has no belief in another.
He didn't even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights. it had to be some silly little Communist.
It is lamentable, that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.
A steady patriot of the world alone, The friend of every country but his own.
