One more reason for me to believe why america is a great nation, greatest nation..

"I am against any nationalism, even in the guise of mere patriotism. Privileges based on position and property have always seemed to me unjust and pernicious, as did any exaggerated personality cult."
-Albert Einstein, My Credo (1932)

"Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. "Patriotism" is its cult. It should hardly be necessary to say, that by "patriotism I mean that attitude which puts the own nation above humanity, above the principles of truth and justice; not the loving interest in ones own nation, which is the concern with the nations spiritual as much as with its material welfare never with its power over other nations. Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for ones country which is not part of ones love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship."
-Erich Fromm, in The Sane Society (1955)
