In honor of Flag Day from The Federalist:
"It was leadership here at home that gave us strong American influence abroad, and the collapse of imperial Communism. Great nations have responsibilities to lead, and we should always be cautious of those who would lower our profile, because they might just wind up lowering our flag."
UPDATE: Also, the Supremes allow the phrase "one nation under God" to stay in the pledge - though they avoid the question of it's constitutionality.
