In Hollywood Westerns even in the Thirties and Forties, history was mythologized to accommodate some kind of moral code. And what really affects me deeply is when you see it taken to the extent where Native Americans become mythical people.
America was built on an attempted genocide, anyway. Guns were completely necessary.
It really never came up, but I think that in present-day America, they're - you know, and I touched on it in the initial clip - is that we are in the middle of this culture war.
It's like in most parts of America, where there was industry and there is no longer; there is cynicism mixed with sarcasm and some optimism. That's how my background influenced my comedy.
America has been a beacon of hope for vulnerable people throughout the world.
We need comprehensive reform that will make America the best place in the world to invest and do business.
We have this kind of revolving door, we don't have a permanent class of millionaires in America like a lot of other countries.
There are certainly great cities in America that don't have ATP and WTA events. Our fans are very provincial. They want American champions.
America is the world's policemen, whether you and I like that or not. That's a fact. People globally feel that.
We have a lot of options. America is a great country.
In America, we love to give people second chances too - as long as you admit you were wrong and come back and do it the right way.
All the more reason we need to stand up for our democracy now. If we're going to solve the crises that are barreling down on us, we need democracy, and our democracy needs to start with an open and inclusive debate. That doesn't mean 20 candidates. There are four candidates who are on the ballot for just about every voter in America.
I am honored to have Ajamu Baraka as a running mate. I think he brings enormous credibility in the disenfranchised communities, not just African American but Latino, Asian American and Native American. He is a recognized advocate for racial justice, economic justice and human rights, and I think this conversation is only just begun. It is very important.
Sometimes it seems like America is the Christian and Israel is the little Jew they love in this fetishistic way. Like, you're my little sister and I'll kick anyone's ass that messes with you. But when we're alone and no one's looking I'll harass you.

As slavery died for the greater good of America, and the movement for equality sputtered to life, the white woman was on the cover of every American magazine. She was the dazzling jewel on every movie screen, the glory of every commercial and television show.
I was born in America, but I consider myself a Filipino.
I would give the people of America to their first opportunity to elect a president who doesn't belong to either party since George Washington.
The world protested our invasion of Iraq, but the people of America were never made aware of that - through the censorship that goes on here, and believe me it's going on here.
What's good for Blacks is good for all of America.
Iraq will drive American agenda for a long time because Iraq policy has so damaged America in the Middle East region, left us isolated. We are there now by brute strength, we are not there because we are desired.
I've paid my dues. I've earned your votes. Send me.
I want to make America better!
America needs young people to be inspired to choose sacrifice over greed.
Statehood for the District of Columbia is the most important civil rights and social justice issue in America today.
