“Deep patriots don't just sing the song, 'America the Beautiful' and then go home. We actually stick around to defend America’s beauty -- from the oil spillers, the clear-cutters and the mountaintop removers. Deep patriots don't just visit the Statue of Liberty and send a postcard home to grandma. We defend the principles upon which that great monument was founded -- 'give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.'” GivingHomeAmericaBeautifulSongPoorLibertyPrinciplesClearMassGive MeTiredSticksBreatheOilYearningPatriotStatuesMonumentGrandmaPostcardsStatue Of LibertyCutters Book:Rebuild the Dream Source: Rebuild the Dream
“The burden of all song and praise "unto the Highest" has been that God stands for justice and mercy.

He, deceived by all the deities, betrayed by their emissaries, he, himself, must undertake to usher in justice upon the earth.” MenHas BeensEndsCountryEnoughSeemsEarthSongHeavenJusticeHorrorHighestMassMercyIncreasePraiseInjusticeCommittedBurdenPositive AtheismBetrayedWrathDeceivedDeitiesOutrageInhumanityOverflowJustice And MercyInhumanity To Man Book:Red Emma Speaks: An Emma Goldman Reader Source: Red Emma Speaks: An Emma Goldman Reader
