  Quotes about patriotism

  by Seeker in

  2. friends

  since the subject of nationalism is so hot and heavy around here, i thought i would present some quotes on the subject that also express my mind:.

  heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately i hate them!

  ~albert einstein.

  Here's one I like:

  "My country right or wrong" is like saying, "My mother drunk or sober."
  --G.K. Chesterton

  Not on topic, but while I have The Portable Curmudgeon open, I like this one, too:

  Woe to him inside a nonconformist clique who does not conform with nonconformity.
  --Eric Hoffer

  America Bashing

  with all of the america bashing going on of late, i thought i'd mention the fact that america stands for freedom, as flawed as our system may be.

  you're even free to be critical of the government and it's leaders.

  the many men and women who have died defending this country did so to preserve the rights even of people who hate the u.s. there are many different cultures here, so there are many different attempts at creating laws for the land.

  Dave,

  I don't want to backslide into old personas, nor do I want you to fake it. And besides--I think I would have a lot of competition for the title of "Board-Bitch."

  I just can't resist a little friendly jab once in awhile.

  You're such a [rhymes with chick] sometimes!

  Peaceloveharmony,

  Your prayer reminds me of Shel Silverstein's "Prayer of the Selfish Child" from A Light in the Attic.

  Ginny

  Prayer of the Selfish Child
  
  Now I lay me down to sleep,
  I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
  And if I die before I wake,
  I pray the Lord my toys to break.
  So none of the other kids can use 'em...

  Amen.

  Seeker,

  The burning question in my mind is:

  Did he borrow that belt from Jethro or Ellie Mae?

  Riz,

  It's from an interview with J.F. Rutherford that appeared in the San Diego Sun, March 15, 1930. You can read the whole article here:

  http://watchtower.observer.org/apps/pbcs.dll/artikkel?Avis=WO&Dato=20010204&Kategori=HISTORY2&Lopenr=204012&Ref=AR

  That link looks pretty long and messy, so in case it doesn't work, try this one and scroll down:

  http://watchtower.observer.org/apps/pbcs.dll/oversikt?Kategori=HISTORY2

  It's about the 19th heading down on that page.

  Slipnslidemaster,

  But Prince is now a JW. Could it be a sign? French telephones and red leather chairs sound like Prince's style to me . . .

  "I could see at a glance that he was not David. He didn't look like I knew David would look." -- J.F. Rutherford

  At Beth Sarim (House of Princes) as Rutherford has named his mansion, David will find the most modern appliances that science has devised. When the distinguished guests walk up the circular stairway to the second floor, they will find a large office with red leather chairs and shiny flat topped desk with inverted lighting. Even French telephones await the touch of the princes. Opening a wide door, the native sons of Palestine will behold a large bathroom, resplendent in shiny black tile with needle shower and an amply filled medicine chest. What a thrill giant shouldered Samson, who wrecked a palace with his bare fists might find in the gold safety razor and strop! Rutherford built the second floor bedroom, which he temporarily occupies, large in order to accommodate several of the expected owners.

  There is an article on the Skeptic site by Michael Shermer called "Deconstructing The Dead: Cross Over One Last Time To Expose Medium John Edward." You can find it here:

  http://www.skeptic.com/

  Here is an excerpt:

  Time's reporter Leon Jaroff, quoting from the Skeptic article, wrote a skeptical piece in which he reported the experiences of an audience member from an Edward taping. His name is Michael O'Neill, a New York City marketing manager, who reported his experiences as follows (quoting from the Skeptic article):

  "I was on the John Edward show. He even had a multiple guess "hit" on me that was featured on the show. However, it was edited so that my answer to another question was edited in after one of his questions. In other words, his question and my answer were deliberately mismatched. Only a fraction of what went on in the studio was actually seen in the final 30 minute show. He was wrong about a lot and was very aggressive when somebody failed to acknowledge something he said. Also, his "production assistants" were always around while we waited to get into the studio. They told us to keep very quiet, and they overheard a lot. I think that the whole place is bugged somehow. Also, once in the studio we had to wait around for almost two hours before the show began. Throughout that time everybody was talking about what dead relative of theirs might pop up. Remember that all this occurred under microphones and with cameras already set up. My guess is that he was backstage listening and looking at us all and noting certain readings. When he finally appeared, he looked at the audience as if he were trying to spot people he recognized. He also had ringers in the audience. I can tell because about fifteen people arrived in a chartered van, and once inside they did not sit together."
