“A great deal of what passes by the name of patriotism in these days consists of the merest bigotry and narrow-mindedness; exhibiting itself in national prejudice, national conceit, and national hatred. It does not show itself in deeds, but in boastings--in howlings, gesticulations, and shrieking helplessly for help--in flying flags and singing songs--and in perpetual grinding at the hurdy-gurdy of long-dead grievances and long-remedied wrongs. To be infested by such a patriotism as this is perhaps among the greatest curses that can befall any country.” LongDoeCountryHelpingShowsSongNamesDealsSingingHatredPrejudiceDeedsFlyingThese DaysCursePatriotismBigotryFlagsPerpetualBoastConceitGrievanceNarrow MindednessSinging Songs Book:Character Source: Character
