Patriotism is strong nationalistic feeling for a country whose borders and whose legitimacy and whose ethnic composition is taken for granted.

Patriotism is considered to be an emotion a person ought to feel. But why? Why is it nobler to love your own country than to love someone else's?

Patriotism consists not in waving the flag but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.

Politics is too partisan and sometimes patriotism is cast aside. Patriotism is honor and love of your country and your brothers and sisters. With politics I get the impression that it's all about what's good for the party and not necessarily what's good for the country.

A man's country is not a certain area of land of mountains rivers and woods but it is a principle and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.

Next to the love of God the love of country is the best preventive of crime.

The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?

The proper means of increasing the love we bear our native country is to reside some time in a foreign one.

Intellectually I know that America is no better than any other country emotionally I know she is better than every other country.

It is the patriotic duty of every man to lie for his country.

I do think the patriotic thing to do is to critique my country. How else do you make a country better but by pointing out its flaws?

Most Italians who came to this country are very patriotic. There was this exciting possibility that if you worked real hard and you loved something you could become successful.

Liberals become indignant when you question their patriotism but simultaneously work overtime to give terrorists a cushion for the next attack and laugh at dumb Americans who love their country and hate the enemy.

I have no country to fight for my country is the earth and I am a citizen of the world.

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

Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.

Is the patience of the American people that long suffering? Is there no outrage left in the country?

I think the destructive vicious negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country harder to attract decent people to run for public office.

It is only in the country that we can get to know a person or a book.

I really like all music but mostly Country older R&B and the good classic rock.

Country music is about new love and it's about old love.

When I moved to New York I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.

In these confused times the role of classical music is at the very core of the struggle to reassert cultural and ethical values that have always characterized our country and for which we have traditionally been honored and respected outside our shores.

What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz blues country music and so forth. I do them all like a good utility man.
