The oath of renunciation and allegiance is a solemn vow taken by thousands of immigrants each year to become a United States citizen. The oath is the fundamental statement of allegiance to the United States, and this allegiance is what unites America.

I have heard something said on this and a former occasion about allegiance to the South. I know no South, no North, no East, no West, to which I owe any allegiance. I owe allegiance to two sovereignty, and only two: one is the sovereignty of this Union, and the other is the sovereignty of the state of Kentucky. My allegiance is to this Union and to my state; but if gentlemen suppose they can exact from me an acknowledgement of allegiance to any ideal or future contemplated confederacy of the South, I here declare that I owe no allegiance to it; nor will I, for one, come under any such allegiance if I can avoid it.

There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.

The United States is not a nation based upon race, creed, or religion - we are a nation based upon our loyalty and allegiance to our country and her principles.

Komfo Anokye,
To the grand durber of the chiefs and the people of my hometown;
But, i am the 'Abusuapanyin' in this town to tell you a story.
Swearing the Great Oath is like the wary of the women,
But riding in palanquins will make it a difference!
And like Abbey my friend who is just in town.
Komfo Anokye,
Drumming and dancing galvanises one's culture;
But, do put forward the agenda of love to all mankind.
Like the Oath of allegiance,
Like the Oath on your love,
And like the Oath of of peace;
For the 'Omanhene' reflects on 'Komfo Anokye' at times.

The United Conference of Hemispheres
How about...
The United States?
'No.
That's what we're called now! '
Oh...
You're right.
I forgot.
Well..
How about,
The United Federation of Americas?
'Hmmm...
Now that does have a ring.
With Canada, Mexico...
And the current United States.
I like the sound of it! '
Or...
How about,
The United Western Hemisphere?
'YES!
That's brilliant.
We'll have a meeting this weekend,
To discuss it!
But we must go slowly with this.
The people are already going nuts over the economy!
But I do love this idea.
We'll have the United Northern Hemisphere.
The United Eastern Hemisphere.
And the United Southern Hemisphere.
Whenever we come to meet...
We'll call ourselves,
The United Conference of Hemispheres!
Pass that by President Obama.
See if he approves before the announcement is made!
We must consolidate all nations as soon as possible.'

Allegiance
An oath has been pledged from the heart,
His task was certainly one of steel and iron;
Hard and brittle tasks require difference,
My oath shall proclaim this to the very fibre.
A little push goes a long way to the far end,
Words push and crawl to exterminate;
A wonderful meaning has arisen from them,
To make this pledge of allegiance.
My statements seem sound and sacred,
But my phrases shall count to the rest of us,
In efforts we explain, and all this while
The superiority of our dialogue is shown.
