Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt - until recently... and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.” TwoStatesHandsBitsBlackDifferencesPoorUnitedPartyUnited StatesWillingRepublicanCapitalismWingsPropertyDemocratAdjustmentRight WingLaissez FaireLaissez Faire Capitalism Author:Gore Vidal

“Pick a leader who will not only bail out banks and airlines, but also families from losing their homes -- or jobs due to their companies moving to other countries. Pick a leader who will fund schools, not limit spending on education and allow libraries to close. Pick a leader who chooses diplomacy over war. An honest broker in foreign relations. A leader with integrity, one who says what they mean, keeps their word and does not lie to their people. Pick a leader who is strong and confident, yet humble. Intelligent, but not sly. A leader who encourages diversity, not racism. One who understands the needs of the farmer, the teacher, the doctor, and the environmentalist -- not only the banker, the oil tycoon, the weapons developer, or the insurance and pharmaceutical lobbyist.” PeopleGovernmentLeadershipEducationLeaderHonestIntegrityRepublicanDiversityRacismCapitalismIntelligentDemocratHumbleProtectionEmploymentHealth CareCorporationsJobDiplomacyBankingIncentivesTeachersBankersUnderstandNationLeadSchoolsDiplomaticBig BusinessLibrariesEnvironmentalistConfidentFamiliesGuideGood LeaderGovernment CorruptionBest LeaderSlyBailBanksCompaniesHomesIdentifyFarmerBail OutIndentifiesOil TycoonPick A LeaderSelectingServes The People Book:Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem Source: Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
