For it was as “The Man without a Country” that poor Philip Nolan had generally been known by the officers who had him in charge during some fifty years, as, indeed, by all the men who sailed under them.
I thought you were the man who never wanted to hear of home again!”—and she walked directly up the deck to her husband, and left poor Nolan alone, as he always was.—He did not dance again.
And for your country, boy,” and the words rattled in his throat, “and for that flag,” and he pointed to the ship, “never dream a dream but of serving her as she bids you, though the service carry you through a thousand hells.

The two whites were an Irish and a Polish man. One was young and handsome, and the other was old and had a weather-beaten face.
He and the Irish man were the only two to show the strain of this.
The bits of America they take with them to their countries are the worst parts: materialism, love of cars and slaving worship of wealth.

 The Man Without a Country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Man without a Country was a novel by Edward Everett Hale, published anonymously in the Atlantic Monthly in 1863.
Although the events of the novel were set in the early 1800s in Mississippi, much of the story was allegorical to events preceding the American Civil War (especially in Ohio), and it was intended to satirize those who expressed an interest in renouncing the United States.

At first glance, the dignified man does not appear to be a refugee who sleeps on an airport bench because he has nowhere else to go.

Yahweh’s law is clear on this: if a man and a woman have sex together outside their respective marriages then they are both to be stoned to death.
Whether that be one that can follow simple instructions without straying the second the master turns his back, or more to the purpose of living a healthy enough life so that people can continue to thrive without the constant babysitting of gods is moot.
How to rate the size and strength of Yahweh the man is impossible, apart from the Biblical fact that He is 0-2 in face-to-face physical altercations with single male opponents; on this count, I graciously grant Him average size and strength although we could suggest a bit less.

It should come as no surprise then that I was all but shouting "Buy that book for me!" when I spied A Man Without A Country on the new releases shelf at Barnes and Nobel right before my birthday last year.
Man Without A Country is a strange mix of anecdotes, essays, and statements, mostly against the current state of affairs and administration in the United States, but with wider topics such as our unending appetite for destuction of life, the universe, and everything and what it means to be a humorist.
And so we're treated to a collection of political writings by a man- a self described "peace activist"- who described American bomber pilots of WWII as murderers, and yet lauds the suicide bombers of the Mideast as heroic figures.

After 27 years, Robertson's portrayal of Nolan, the man who wishes never to see or hear of his country again, still smoulders in the memory.
The closing scenes are heart-rending to anyone who has ever felt more than the slightest stir of patriotic sentiment or homesickness for a distant country.
This is a classic version of a classic American story, in which a "merciful" sentence proves to be more diabolical and Draconian than poor Nolan could have ever imagined.

Kahn covets membership in an all-Asian country club, but it's Hank who's asked to join---as a token white to secure a PGA tournament.
KOTH is usually a reasonably accurate reflection of Texas life, so it seems strange that they would have something as unlikely as an all-Asian country club.
I get that the theme of the episode was to show Hank what it's like to be a token minority, but I still thought it was weird.

A long time ago, Edward Everett Hale's story "The Man Without A Country" was a standard part of public education.
I was fortunate enough to have a teacher that had her class read the story, memorize (yes, memorize) the poem it contained, and then watch the movie.
In today's political climate, the movie and story would probably be viewed as jingoist, but there's something to be said for the idea that a person's country should be important in his or her life.

Candidate for lieutenant governor George Pugh represented Vallandigham's views at rallies and in the press.
Lincoln interested himself in the election, endorsed Republican candidate John Brough, downplayed the illegalities of a civilian's arrest and trial by military authorities, and claimed that a vote for the Democratic contender was "a discredit to the country." In the election of 13 Oct. 1863, Brough defeated Vallandigham 288,000 - 187,000.
With the election crisis passed, Lincoln and the military ignored Vallandigham's return to the U.S, in disguise 14 June 1864.
