I love America. I love that I can hate things about it, speak about it and write about it without getting in trouble, thrown in jail or beheaded. So, in honor of its 231st Birthday I’m happy to share these thoughts about the best country ever won. Have a blast!
There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America. -- Bill Clinton (1946 - )
There's the country of America, which you have to defend, but there's also the idea of America. America is more than just a country, it's an idea. An idea that's supposed to be contagious. -- Bono (1960 - ), Oprah Winfrey Show, 2002
I see America, not in the setting sun of a black night of despair ahead of us, I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God. I see great days ahead, great days possible to men and women of will and vision. -- Carl Sandburg (1878 - 1967)
The trouble with America is that there are far too many wide-open spaces surrounded by teeth.
America will never run... And we will always be grateful that liberty has found such brave defenders.
George W. Bush (1946 - )
John Updike
