“Nobody cares that Mitt Romney is rich. It’s Romney’s inability to understand the institutional advantage that he gains from the government’s tax code largesse that’s a little offensive to people.

“Everybody talks about the entitlement generation. There is no time I'd rather live in than now, and there is no generation I would more entrust the future of this country to than this one. There is a tendency to live in a nostalgic state in this country, and to think that other generations possessed an integrity and a tenacity greater than the generation that is now. I wholeheartedly disagree with that. I believe that this is a group that will rise up to any challenge that comes before them as well as any other generation in America would have done.” ThinkingBelieveWellsCountryStatesDoneAmericaI BelieveChallengesGreaterGenerationsGroupsIntegrityTendenciesDisagreePossessedTenacityEntitlementNostalgicWholeheartedly Author:Jon Stewart

“I have to say, as someone who is not a Christian, it’s hard for me to believe Christians are a persecuted people in America. God willing, maybe one of you one day will even rise up and get to be president of this country — or maybe forty-four in a row. But that’s my point, is they’ve taken this idea of no establishment as persecution, because they feel entitled, not to equal status, but to greater status.” PeopleFeelsBelieveIdeasCountryHardChristianAmericaPresidentTakenGreaterFourWillingOne DayEqualGods WillFortyEstablishmentEntitledPersecutionPersecuted Author:Jon Stewart
“The (Supreme Court) ruling that anyone who's arrested -- even accidentally -- can be strip-searched was decided five to four, with the votes for the searches coming from the Court's five conservatives.
