America beats on you so hard the whole time. You are constantly being pummeled by other people's rights and their sense of patriotism.

It seems that American patriotism measures itself against an outcast group. The right Americans are the right Americans because they're not like the wrong Americans who are not really Americans.

The values the programs the formula the determination and the patriotism responsible for America's past success are still here to be tapped.

There's intense national feeling in America that could be called patriotism.

The mobilisation which Bush has been able to perform since 11 September 2001 has to be fought - at least by Americans - in the name of a wise honourable and democratic patriotism.

Unfortunately after Sept. 11 there was an outburst in America of intense suffering and patriotism and the Bush administration was very shrewd and effective in painting anyone who disagreed with the policies as unpatriotic or even traitorous.

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

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.

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

The patience of the American public with dilatory diplomatic delays will be very limited.
