Flag Waving Quotes

  Eleanor Roosevelt

• My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let's all get on the Jesus train and ride out of hell. I'm not that kind of guy. It's an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it's not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses.

  Billy Corgan

  Señalándome con ese dedo de plástico,
  Esperando que pronto los de mi clase caigan y mueran,
  Pero voy a ondear mi bandera friki en alto.

• I will not support putting American soldiers into Iraq as an occupying force. I don't think that is in our interest, and I don't think that would be smart to do. In fact, I think that would be a big red flag waving for ISIS to reconstitute itself.

• America has an almost obscene infatuation with itself. Has there ever been a big, powerful country that is as patriotic as America? And patriotic in the tinniest way, with so much flag waving? You'd really think we were some poor little republic, and that if one person lost his religion for one hour, the whole thing would crumble. America is the real religion in this country.

  Norman Mailer

• Se dice que la Reina ha llegado a amar a la Commonwealth, en parte porque le proporciona regularmente multitudes de animosos picaninis que ondean banderas; y cabe imaginar que Blair, dos veces vencedor en el extranjero pero enemistado en casa, se siente igualmente seducido por la cortesía extranjera. Dicen que en breve partirá hacia el Congo. Sin duda, los AK47 callarán, las pangas dejarán de cortar carne humana y los guerreros tribales sonreirán como sandías al ver aterrizar al gran jefe blanco en su gran pájaro blanco financiado por los contribuyentes británicos.

• Si nos sentáramos a discutir sobre el aborto, la legalización de la marihuana, el matrimonio homosexual y todas esas cosas, te sorprendería verme del lado de algunos de esos temas.

• No hay necesidad de salir, porque sigue siendo cierto que las cosas que nos hacen humanos están, curiosamente, siempre cerca. Resuelve, entonces, que en este mismo terreno, con pequeñas banderas ondeando y pequeños toques de trompetas, nos encontraremos con el enemigo, y no sólo puede ser nuestro, puede ser nosotros.

• High national emotions are permissible when a soccer team is playing precisely because they are impermissible at most other times. There aren't, simply, many other places where you can sing your national anthem until you lose your voice without causing a riot. In the context of soccer, flag-waving nationalism - even chauvinistic, anti-foreigner, flag-waving nationalism - is acceptable in Britain.
