“Someone said that patriotism is the last refuge of cowards; those without moral principles usually wrap a flag around themselves, and those bastards always talk about the purity of race.”

“It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.”

“the cruelest, narrowest, most evil people will always rise to power because they'll always be the ones most willing to wrap themselves in the crescent flag and murder people in God's name.”

“I know that we have nothing to fear from the flag burners. We have a great deal to fear from those who have lost faith in the Constitution.”

“I don't belong to any side. What's more, I think flags are nothing but painted rags that represent rancid emotions.

I've always thought that anyone who needs to join a herd so badly must be a bit of a sheep himself”
