By Americans

• "America is the land of the uncommon man. It is the land where man is free to develop his genius -- and to get its just rewards."
  • Ayn Rand
• "America - where even the son of a President can grow up to be President."
  • Jacob Appel, Arborophilia, 2005

• "America - a conservative country without any conservative ideology-appears now before the world a naked and arbitrary power, as, in the name of realism, its men of decision enforce their often crackpot definitions upon world reality. The second-rate mind is in command of the ponderously spoken platitude. In the liberal rhetoric, vagueness, and in the conservative mood, irrationality, are raised to principle. Public relations and the official secret, the trivializing campaign and the terrible fact clumsily accomplished, are replacing the reasoned debate of political ideas in the privately incorporated economy, the military ascendancy, and the political vacuum of modern America.
  • C. Wright Mills , The Power Elite,1956
