Legislation is the only lasting solution for the men and women brought to this country through no fault of their own who want to perform the ultimate act of patriotism in defending America. ~ Jeff Denham
Defending America quotes by Jeff Denham
As commander-in-chief, I will do whatever it takes to defend America. But in defending America, we cannot lose what America stands for. ~ Rand Paul
Defending America quotes by Rand Paul
The U.S. should stop garrisoning the globe, subsidizing rich friends, and reconstructing poor enemies. Instead, it's about time Washington focused on defending America and its people. ~ Doug Bandow
Defending America quotes by Doug Bandow
We have to be as militant defending America as the enemies of America are in trying to destroy America. ~ Newt Gingrich
Defending America quotes by Newt Gingrich
I spend a good portion of my dinner-party conversation defending America because no matter what the political agenda, it's still a fantastic, amazing place. ~ Gwyneth Paltrow
Defending America quotes by Gwyneth Paltrow
Even if torture works, what is the point of 'defending' America using a tactic that is a fundamental violation of what America ought to mean? ~ Phil Klay
Defending America quotes by Phil Klay
If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it is wrong for America to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country. ~ Malcolm X
Defending America quotes by Malcolm X
We are a nation at war. This is also a time for hard choices. It's about ensuring that we are able to prevail in the conflicts in which we are now engaged. But it's also about being able to be strong and disciplined in applying our nation's limited resources to defending America. ~ Leon Panetta
Defending America quotes by Leon Panetta
Whenever a free man is in chains we are threatened also. Whoever is fighting for liberty is defending America. ~ William Allen White
Defending America quotes by William Allen White
Dwight D. Eisenhower changed America forever with the creation of the interstate highway program. ~ Joel Garreau
Defending America quotes by Joel Garreau
The selfless actions of these heroes have removed them from their families, businesses and homeland to fight, so that others may experience the liberty awaiting our troops upon safe return to America. ~ Jim Walsh
Defending America quotes by Jim Walsh
America has always been torn between the ideal and the real, between noble goals and inevitable compromises. So was Jefferson. In his head and in his heart, as in the nation itself, the perfect warred with the good, the intellectual with the visceral. ~ Jon Meacham
Defending America quotes by Jon Meacham
Once you do lose a job, there are not a lot of social supports for you. You lose health insurance because we have this absurd system in America where health insurance is usually tied to employment. Your income dips. And that's when you get into selling the house. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Defending America quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
I hate America. I hate this country. It's just big ideas, and stories, and people dying, and people like you. The white cracker who wrote the national anthem knew what he was doing. He set the word 'free' to a note so high nobody can reach it. That was deliberate. Nothing on earth sounds less like freedom to me. You come to room 1013 over at the hospital, I'll show you America. Terminal, crazy and mean. I live in America, that's hard enough, I don't have to love it. You do that. Everybody's got to love something. ~ Tony Kushner
Defending America quotes by Tony Kushner
The first major debate between racists had invaded the English discourse. This argument about the cause of inferior Blackness - curse or climate, nature or nurture - would rage for decades, and eventually influence settlers to America. Curse theorists were the first known segregationists. They believed that Black people were naturally and permanently inferior, and totally incapable of becoming White. Climate theorists were the first known assimilationists, believing Black people had been nurtured by the hot sun into a temporary inferiority, but were capable of becoming White if they moved to a cooler climate. ~ Ibram X. Kendi
Defending America quotes by Ibram X. Kendi
The Americans are the illegitimate children of the English. ~ H.L. Mencken
Defending America quotes by H.L. Mencken
I've been reading comics since I was four. I used to get them when I would go grocery shopping with my mom. I remember getting the digest versions of old DC comics. The one that I remember reading first was Paul Levitz' 'Justice Society of America' stuff that he was doing in the '70s. ~ Jeff Lemire
Defending America quotes by Jeff Lemire
'Good Morning America' exploited Joan Lunden's pregnancy, but you won't see me bringing my babies on the air. The only reason I'm talking about the babies at all is that they've been with me on the show since I became pregnant. After a while, I had to acknowledge this pumpkin tummy. ~ Jane Pauley
Defending America quotes by Jane Pauley
Safety razors make it hard to grow beards in America: America would be a better place if there were a few bearded, savage, terrible old men. ~ Lewis Mumford
Defending America quotes by Lewis Mumford
Hillary Brown understands that?for our grandchildren's sake?we must rebuild America and, in doing so, re-imagine our interconnected infrastructure systems to make them more efficient, environmentally safe, and resilient in this age of global urbanization. This fascinating and important book should be required reading for our elected officials and policy-makers. ~ Felix Rohatyn
Defending America quotes by Felix Rohatyn
I'm American. I can't stand Brazilians. They live in a third-world country anyway, so they'll go anywhere if there's a little money. I live in America. I want to be a champion of an American organization. ~ Phil Baroni
Defending America quotes by Phil Baroni
America has a long and rich tradition of generosity that began with simple acts of neighbor helping neighbor. ~ Helen Boosalis
Defending America quotes by Helen Boosalis
Only in America, where someone like me could have the opportunity to seek the highest office the world has to offer. Not only can all of us achieve whatever dream we want to achieve because of the place where we live and the opportunities it gives us, but that we not only can do it together, but we have to do it together! ~ Chris Christie
Defending America quotes by Chris Christie
All three of the great waves of nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century European immigrants to America innovated. ~ Malcolm Gladwell
Defending America quotes by Malcolm Gladwell
Many people don't have relationships to their siblings in adulthood, or they have superficial ones. It's sort of unfashionable, particularly in America, to be close to your family. ~ Kiki Smith
Defending America quotes by Kiki Smith
The media's worried about whether I've paid my taxes; they're worried about any number of silly things that have nothing to do with America. ~ Joe Wurzelbacher
Defending America quotes by Joe Wurzelbacher
I think during the Cold War in America at least, there was a division; there was the Soviet government and there were the oppressed people, who were not represented by this government. That was a massive oversimplification of what the true situation was there. There were certainly many people who were completely and fully alienated from the government. ~ Joe Weisberg
Defending America quotes by Joe Weisberg
Imagine filling a college with the first 1,000 students to get perfect SATs. Whatever the racial composition of that class would be, the notion seems absurd because we know that college in America is supposed to be about creating citizens and leaders in a diverse nation. ~ Eric Liu
Defending America quotes by Eric Liu
The world became more aware that America-despite being the hope of many who have the personal drive and ambition to become part of the "American dream"-is beset by serious operational challenges: a massive and growing national debt, widening social inequality, a cornucopian culture that worships materialism, a financial system given to greedy speculation, and a polarized political system ~ Zbigniew Brzezinski
Defending America quotes by Zbigniew Brzezinski
However, by Sunday noon
not coincidentally, the unhappiest hour in America
you may have run through your options and wind up slumped on a couch, suffering from the Sabbath existential crisis. It's at just such unfocused, unproductive times, says Csikszentmihalyi, that people start ruminating and feeling that their lives are wasted and so forth. ~ Winifred Gallagher
Defending America quotes by Winifred Gallagher
Suddenly, out of the mist came a parachute with a fresh Hershey chocolate bar from America. It took me a week to eat that candy bar. I hid it day and night. The chocolate was wonderful, but it wasn't the chocolate that was most important. What it meant was that someone in America cared. That parachute was something more important than candy. It represented hope. Hope that someday we would be free. Without hope the soul dies. ~ Michael O. Tunnell
Defending America quotes by Michael O. Tunnell
I've been talking about income inequality in America for twenty years, and when I was president, people didn't pay much attention to it, probably because wages were going up. But I don't think I've given a single solitary speech since I left office that I hadn't talked about it. It's a problem around the world and within the United States. So these people have put that on the agenda. ~ William J. Clinton
Defending America quotes by William J. Clinton
The man who cannot listen to an argument which opposes his views either has a weak position or is a weak defender of it. No opinion that cannot stand discussion or criticism is worth holding. And it has been wisely said that the man who knows only half of any question is worse off than the man who knows nothing of it. He is not only one sided, but his partisanship soon turns him into an intolerant and a fanatic. In general it is true that nothing which cannot stand up under discussion and criticism is worth defending. ~ James E. Talmage
Defending America quotes by James E. Talmage
Hatred is celebrated when injustice wears a white sheet even when faces are uncovered. ~ Eveth Colley
Defending America quotes by Eveth Colley
I also know that too many people talk too much, especially the American, who never shut up, just switch to a laugh every time he talk 'bout you, and it sound strange how he put your name beside people we never hear 'bout, Allende Lumumba, a name that sound like a country that Kunta Kinte come from. The American, most of the time hide him eye with sunglasses like he is a preacher from America come to talk to black people. Him and the Cuban come sometimes together, sometimes on they own, and when one talk the other always quiet. The Cuban don't fuck with guns because guns always need to be needed, him say. ~ Marlon James
Defending America quotes by Marlon James
You're in America now," I said. "Our idea of diplomacy is showing up with a gun in one hand and a sandwich in the other and asking which you'd prefer. ~ Jim Butcher
Defending America quotes by Jim Butcher
As a matter of fact, I constantly tell audiences all over the world that the single greatest icon of American culture from the publication of "To Kill A Mockingbird" was that novel so that if we say, what conversation can we have that would lead us on a road of tolerance, and teachers have decided that if you're going to teach values in a school in America, the answer that American teachers at all kinds of schools have come up with, just let Harper Lee teach "To Kill A Mockingbird." And then all the teacher has to do is stand back and guide the discussion. ~ Wayne Flynt
Defending America quotes by Wayne Flynt
I believe in a America first foreign policy, that far too often President [Barack] Obama and Hillary Clinton - and, unfortunately, more than a few Republicans - have gotten distracted from the central focus of keeping this country safe. ~ Ted Cruz
Defending America quotes by Ted Cruz
Without mentioning any names, I looked at pretty much every story that may come to your mind about a politician on the rise who was stopped short or dragged down by personal flaws and then became just a media storm. I see this as a thing that continues to happen in America and I wanted to say something about that. ~ Nicolas Cage
Defending America quotes by Nicolas Cage
It has become more and more obvious that there is one political party in America, and that is The Business Party. ~ Bill Hicks
Defending America quotes by Bill Hicks
Al Gore wants us to clean up our factories ... when China and other countries couldn't care less. China, Japan, and India are laughing at America's stupidity. ~ Donald Trump
Defending America quotes by Donald Trump
In America, I get a lot of younger kids, but there's teens and adults too, ... In Europe, for some reason, I see a lot more males in the audience. In Japan, I don't even notice any kids, partially because they're a lot more strict about fan behavior over there. ~ Avril Lavigne
Defending America quotes by Avril Lavigne
The strangest thing about fascism in America today is that American facists are so dumb, they don't even know they're fascists. They don't even know what the word fascism means.

They vaguely know that it had something to do with Hitler and the Nazis, but that's it. They have no idea that the first words of the Nazi anthem were "Germany above all else" which was their version of "America first." And the way Nazis demonized jews was no different than the way American fascists demonize liberals. Hitler promised to "make Germany great again." And Hitler denounced the newspapers, which exposed him for what he really was, as "Lügenpresse," which is German for "fake news."

If the German Nazi party still existed today, they would look exactly like the Republican party under Trump. Hitler's rallies looked no different than Trump's rallies. And Hitler would absolutely love a well-oiled propaganda outlet like Fox News. ~ Oliver Markus Malloy
