“Patriotism means to stand by the people, not to stand by the party.”
Sumit Agarwal
“Patriotism is about a desire for progress, not a yearning for repetition.”
Gina Barreca“No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.”
Barbara Ehrenreich“Your highest patriotism today is to respect the memory of those who have died in the uniform of their country by vowing that it will never happen again. The basest treason is to permit yourself to shamefully and cowardly follow the false patriots into another war, one surely bringing in its wake even greater disasters for our beloved America than any before.”
Willis Carto, An Appeal to Reason: a Compendium of the Writings of Willis A. Carto“Patriotism is the narcissism of countries.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana, The Use and Misuse of Children“Patriotism is being convinced your country is better because you were born in it.”
Jacob M. Appel, The Man Who Wouldn't Stand Up“Patriots always talk of dying for their country but never of killing for their country.”
Bertrand Russell“Still another danger is represented by those who, paying lip service to democracy and the common welfare, in their insatiable greed for money and the power which money gives, do not hesitate surreptitiously to evade the laws designed to safeguard the public from monopolistic extortion.Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution.They are patriotic in time of war because it is to their interest to be so, but in time of peace they follow power and the dollar wherever they may lead.”
Henry A. Wallace“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official.”
Theodore Roosevelt“Moreover, there was what Amy called “the cocksuckers’ contingent of the country”—what Danny knew as the dumber-than-dog-shit element, those bully patriots—and they were too set in their ways or too poorly educated (or both) to see beyond the ceaseless flag-waving and nationalistic bluster.”
