That’s what I see. That’s the America I know!

Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.

I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.

I grew up in San Francisco. And so I’m informed in a certain kind of way about, you know, believing in democracy and believing in America. And I’m a very ardent patriot.

We are America, second to none, and we own the finish line. Don’t forget it.
