Topic: True Patriotism
[Editorial in the New York Times, New York]
When we defend democracy we do not defend a political system. We defend humanity....
It is the defense of humanity to which we must rally—humanity of all races, of all religions. We must defend it against the arrogance of power, whether that power resides in government or conspires against government. We must defend it in the tolerance and charity of our daily dealings with our neighbors. The first assault upon democracy in these times is the spread of irrational prejudice. It is for all of us who believe in free men and free institutions to combat such prejudice whenever and wherever it appears. We are free only as all members of our Commonwealth are free. We have equal opportunities only as all have them. There is only one possible standard in a democracy, and that is the standard of the individual's human dignity and human worth.
