“So we have a choice to make. We can once again let Washington's bad habits stand in the way of progress. Or we can pull together and say that in America, our destiny isn't written for us but by us. We can place good ideas ahead of old ideological battles, and a sense of purpose above the same narrow partisanship. We can act boldly to turn crisis into opportunity and, together, write the next great chapter in our history and meet the test of our time.” WayWritingIdeasTogetherAmericaPurposeTurnsChoicesNextOpportunityDestinyProgressWrittenHabitBattleTestsCrisisOur TimeGood IdeasChaptersOur DestinyIdeologicalBad HabitsPartisanship Author:Barack Obama

“This is the face of our political class: arrogant, authoritarian, and on the level of some banana republic south of the border. Welcome to the New America, where leader-worship has taken the place of politics, Team Red and Team Blue battle it out to see who gets to be El Supremo for the next four years, and politics resembles a prolonged soccer game.” YearsAmericaFacesPoliticalNextGamesLevelsLeaderClassTakenFourTeamBattleWorshipRedBlueSouthWelcomeSoccerBordersRepublicFour YearsArrogantBananasSoccer Game Author:Justin Raimondo
“Fantasy is a literature particularly useful for embodying and examining the real difference between good and evil. In an America where our reality may seem degraded to posturing patriotism and self-righteous brutality, imaginative literature continues to question what heroism is, to examine the roots of power, and to offer moral alternatives. Imagination is the instrument of ethics. There are many metaphors besides battle, many choices besides war, and most ways of doing good do not, in fact, involve killing anybody. Fanstasy is good at thinking about those other ways.” ThinkingWayMayWarRealSelfFactsRealitySeemsAmericaChoicesEvilLiteratureImaginationDifferencesMoralFantasyBattleOffersEthicsRootsInstrumentsKillingMetaphorAlternativesGood And EvilRighteousHeroismImaginativeDoing GoodBrutalityExaminingSelf Righteous Author:Ursula K.

“The fortunes of the African revolution are closely linked with the world-wide struggle against imperialism. It does not matter where the battle erupts, be it in Africa, Asia or Latin America, the master-mind and master-hand at work are the same.

Ghana must not, Ghana cannot be neutral in the struggle of the oppressed against the oppressor.” PeopleWorldMindDoeMatterHandsAmericaStruggleMastersRevolutionBattleFortuneStriveWideLatinExploitationOppressedAsiaLinkedImperialismLatin AmericaOppressorsSuppressionGhana Author:Kwame Nkrumah
“All this stuff you heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost - and will never lose - a war, because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.” MenGivingWarRealPlayAmericaFightingWinningLostStuffLosesHellHeardBattleLosingHorseLaughedHatefulHootPlay To Win Author:George C.

“It's so hard for me to even acknowledge America without talking about race. If you look at our society, if you look at the prisons, if you look at the poverty and which side of the line the majority of people are, we have to acknowledge how we divide ourselves up, that there's racism alive in this country. And it's not in the law. It's in our minds. And that's what we have to actively battle.” PeopleIfsMindLooksCountryHardAmericaLawSidesLinesRaceTalkingPovertyAliveBattleRacismMajorityPrisonAcknowledgeOur SocietyDivides Author:Dave Matthews
