It ain’t the scrap of cloth. Fifty million jackasses in Islamabad can burn it, piss on it, and wipe their asses with it...but they can never destroy what it represents.

“A new Nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” That’s what that scrap of cloth means. Long may it wave.
