Maybe There Is

Patrick has a feature which brings up assorted political quotes at the top of his blog. When I went by most recently I happened upon

"In this country we have no place for hyphenated Americans."
Theodore Roosevelt
It would seem from this report that one American spent 17 months in jail because of being hyphenated.

Update:

A longer version of the quote conveniently just turned up. It improves the statement, and shows how little it has to do with the news story I linked.
