A quotation from Henry Commager
There are further and more practical objections against the imposition of fixed concepts of loyalty or tests of disloyalty. The effort is itself a confession of fear, a declaration of insolvency. Those who are sure of themselves do not need reassurance, and those who have confidence in the strength and the virtue of America do not need to fear either criticism or competition.
Henry Steele Commager (1902–1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 3, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168More about this quote: wist.info/commager-henry-steel…

Careful… I was supposed to be getting ready for bed. Instead I'm lying here in fishnets and heels, legs up against the grey sheets, yellow curtains lighting up the whole room behind me. He thinks I'm just lounging. I'm thinking about who I wish was walking through that door… 🌹
The rest of what I'm thinking is in my bio — come find me.
