The people do not want virtue, but are the dupes of pretended patriots. – Elbridge Gerry • The great social adventure of America is no longer the conquest of the wilderness but the absorption of fifty different peoples. – Walter Lippmann • The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults. – Alexis de Tocqueville • The interesting and inspiring thing about America is that she asks nothing for herself except what she has a right to ask for humanity itself. – Woodrow Wilson • The Jews might have had Uganda, Madagascar, and other places for the establishment of a Jewish Fatherland, but they wanted absolutely nothing except Palestine, not because the Dead Sea water by evaporation can produce five trillion dollars of metaloids and powdered metals; not because the sub-soil of Palestine contains twenty times more petroleum than all the combined reserves of the two Americas; but because Palestine is the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, because Palestine constitutes the veritable center of world political power, the strategic center for world control. – Nahum Goldmann • The men who have guided the destiny of the United States have found the strength for their tasks by going to their knees. This private unity of public men and their God is an enduring source of reassurance for the people of America. – Lyndon B. Johnson • The only foes that threaten America are the enemies at home, and these are ignorance, superstition and incompetence. – Elbert Hubbard • The rivalry is huge between South Carolina and Clemson. It’s major bragging rights; one of the most intense things I’ve been a part of. – William Perry • The things that have made America great are being subverted for the things that make Americans rich. – Louise Erickson • The United States of America does not have friends; it has interests. – John Foster Dulles • The voice of America has no undertones or overtones in it. It repeats its optimistic catchwords in a tireless monologue that has the slightly metallic sound of a gramophone. – Vance Palmer • The war is coming to the streets of America and if you are not keeping and bearing and practicing with your arms then you will be helpless and you will be the victim of evil. – Ted Nugent • Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all! By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall. – John Dickinson • There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America. – Otto von Bismarck • There is not a liberal America and a conservative America – there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and latino America and asian America – there’s the United States of America. – Barack Obama • There is nothing the matter with Americans except their ideals. The real American is all right; it is the ideal American who is all wrong. – Gilbert K. Chesterton • There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America. – William J. Clinton • There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure. – Dwight D. Eisenhower • There will be over 3,500 killed in USA today from abortion. No flags lowered, no presidents crying. No media hyperventilating. Normal day. – Matt Drudge • Those of us who shout the loudest about Americanism, are all too frequently those who . . . ignore some of the basic principles of Americanism-the right to criticize, the right to hold unpopular beliefs, the right to protest, the right of independent thought. – Margaret Chase Smith • To maintain the ascendancy of the Constitution over the lawmaking majority is the great and essential point on which the success of the [American] system must depend; unless that ascendancy can be preserved, the necessary consequence must be that the laws will supersede the Constitution; and, finally, the will of the Executive, by influence of its patronage, will supersede the laws . . . – John C. Calhoun • Two things in America are astonishing: the changeableness of most human behavior and the strange stability of certain principles. Men are constantly on the move, but the spirit of humanity seems almost unmoved. – Alexis de Tocqueville • Unemployment is down, confidence is up, DOW 5,000 above Bush – or as Republicans put it, let’s talk about gay people and abortion! – Bill Maher • We can dream of an America, and a world, in which love and not money are civilization’s bottom line. – Martin Luther King, Jr. • We don’t want an America that is closed to the world. What we want is a world that is open to America. – George H. W. Bush • We have no desire to be the world’s policeman. But America does want to be the world’s peacemaker. – Jimmy Carter • We need an America with the wisdom of experience. But we must not let America grow old in spirit. – Hubert H. Humphrey • We will send ships and Marines as soon as possible for the protection of American life and property. – Theodore Roosevelt • Well, the way things are going, aside from wheat and auto parts, America’s biggest export is now the Oscar. – Billy Crystal • Were the Soviet Union to sink tomorrow under the waters of the ocean, the American military-industrial establishment would have to go on, substantially unchanged, until some other adversary could be invented. Anything else would be an unacceptable shock to the American economy. – George F. Kennan • What is the essence of America? The essence of America is finding and maintaining that perfect, delicate balance between freedom “to” and freedom “from.” – Marilyn vos Savant • What the people want is very simple – they want an America as good as its promise. – Barbara Jordan • What we need are critical lovers of America – patriots who express their faith in their country by working to improve it. – Hubert H. Humphrey • What you have to do is enter the fiction of America, enter America as fiction. It is, indeed, on this fictive basis that it dominates the world. – Jean Baudrillard • What, then, is this new man, the American? They are a mixture of English, Scotch, Irish, French, Dutch, Germans, and Swedes. From this promiscuous breed, that race, now called Americans, have arisen. – J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur • Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of America. – Dwight D. Eisenhower • What’s great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. – Andy Warhol • What’s right about America is that although we have a mess of problems, we have great capacity – intellect and resources – to do some thing about them. – Henry Ford • When fascism comes to the United States it will be wrapped in the American flag and will claim the name of 100-percent Americanism – Sinclair Lewis • When politicians start talking about large groups of their fellow Americans as ‘enemies,’ it’s time for a quiet stir of alertness. Polarizing people is a good way to win an election, and also a good way to wreck a country. – Molly Ivins • When did it become something of shame or ridicule to be a self-made man in America? – Glenn Beck • With few exceptions, democracy has not brought good government to new developing countries. What Asians value may not necessarily be what Americans or Europeans value. Westerners value the freedoms and liberties of the individual. As an Asian of Chinese cultural backround, my values are for a government which is honest, effective and efficient. – Lee Kuan Yew • Workers come to America to fill jobs unwanted by Americans, but they are staying and they are not going home. – Christopher Bond • Yesterday, December 7, 1941 a date which will live in infamy the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan… We will gain the inevitable triumph so help us God. – Franklin D. Roosevelt • Yet America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • You know there are very few Marxists left in the world… they’re all in American universities. – Milton Friedman • You may be sure that the Americans will commit all the stupidities they can think of, plus some that are beyond imagination. – Charles de Gaulle • You, the Spirit of the Settlement! … Not understand that America is God’s crucible, the great melting-pot where all the races of Europe are melting and re-forming! Here, you stand, good folk, think I, when I see them at Ellis Island, here you stand in your fifty groups, with your fifty languages and histories, and your fifty blood hatreds and rivalries. – Israel Zangwill

[ID: the first image is of a section of a wikipedia entry (just a photo of him and the personal life section) for a man named Lawrence Eagleburger. the photo is of a solemn looking-white man, in black and white. the personal life section says:

He had three sons, all of whom are named Lawrence Eagleburger, though they have different middle names (Scott, Andrew, and Jason). When discussing his decision to give his three children the same first name, Eagleburger stated "It was ego," adding "and secondly, I wanted to screw up the Social Security system."

/the second image is a screenshot of a tag that says:

#eagleburger is the name they would give an american character in an anime
