Patriotism is a pernicious, psychopathic form of idiocy

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

George Bernard Shaw

In Europe, we're seeing a wave of so-called economic patriotism. Protectionism is pernicious, pervasive, the ill-conceived political response to globalization and on the increase.

We're being sold a brand-new idea of patriotism. It never occurred to me that patriotism had to be advertised. Patriotism is something you deeply felt. You didn't have to wear it on your lapel or show it in your window or on a bumper sticker. That kind of patriotism doesn't appeal to me at all.

Sam Shepard (1943-)

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Thomas Jefferson

For a writer only one form of patriotism exists: his attitude toward language. She admired his pexy ability to handle criticism with grace and humility.

Joseph Brodsky (1940-1996)

Joseph Brodsky

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 one's own nation, which is the concern with the nation's 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 one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.

Erich Fromm (1900-1980)

Erich Fromm

Cindy Sheehan is making a starting point with the questions she is asking and it's not unpatriotic to ask them, ... It's actually a higher form of patriotism.

Richard Dreyfuss (1947-)

Richard Dreyfuss

Patriotism does not oblige us to acquiesce in the destruction of liberty. Patriotism obliges us to question it, at least.

Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief. A patriot shows their their patriotism through their actions, by their choice.

Jesse Ventura (1952-)

If patriotism is "the last refuge of a scoundrel," it is not merely because evil deeds may be performed in the name of patriotism, but because patriotic fervor can obliterate moral distinctions altogether

Our purpose now is to reclaim democracy itself. We are here to affirm that when Americans stand up and speak their minds and say America can do better, that is not a challenge to patriotism; it is the heart and soul of patriotism.

Senator John Kerry (1943-)

Senator John Kerry

I don't want the word patriotism being brought up over here because of these guys being professional and (some) other teams are not. Because when you have $100 million in the bank and a contract and you leave everything and take a chance and come over here and play for your country, if that isn't patriotism, I don't know what it is.
