A good speech. Can you imagine Dubya giving such a one? He not only wouldn't know how to pronounce the words, he wouldn't have a clue as to what it's about.


I don't know which group(s) Hart was thinking of when he implied that some Americans sometimes are torn between their loyalty to the 'old' country versus to the country they have adopted. I've worked as a tutor with a lot of immigrants who went on to become US citizens and they tend to be more vehemently 'patriotic' than we native borns, but I would imagine there is sometimes a conflict.
