The words, I have a dog named Winn-Dixie, popped into my head in the voice of a small girl with a southern accent.

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.

Cillian Murphy

The flag of our stately battles, not struggles of wrath and greed, Its stripes were a holy lesson, its spangles a deathless creed: 'T was red with the blood of freemen and white with the fear of the foe And the stars that fight in their courses 'gainst tyrants its symbols know.
