As the title suggests, post a quote of a political note...

“[...], there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. Fuck Hope’.”

This man was murdered by Margret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, and no one noticed.

He made this statement months before he died at the hands of the British with the collusion of the American government.

Some of you guys are all right, but when the gloves come off...well, at least I won't have to buy fertilizer for a while.

Society is like a stew. If you don't stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top.

Quotes..

Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.

It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Or maybe more a case of..

Absolute power does not corrupt absolutely, absolute power attracts the corruptible.

'i didn't give you permission to talk to me'.

when you're out in public domain does one require permission?

I’ve never given it consideration tbh

I'm worried that students will take their obedient place in society and look to become successful cogs in the wheel - let the wheel spin them around as it wants without taking a look at what they're doing. I'm concerned that students not become passive acceptors of the official doctrine that's handed down to them from the White House, the media, textbooks, teachers and preachers.

Bobby was a great leader. Well spoken and armed with the facts. Thanks for sharing this. Few here know of the tyranny committed in Ireland. 26+6=1

The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
Probably my favorite quote.
