“Three of the last four [elections], '06, '08, and '12, were disastrous for Republicans. And they were years in which we just we stayed quiet, we went along the get-along, we didn't stand on principle. The only year that was a good year for Republicans was 2010, when we painted in bold colors, not in pale pastels. We stood for principle. I think winning this fight right now is the most important thing we can do to see significant victories in 2014.” ThinkingYearsImportantLastsPoliticalFightingThreePoliticsWinningCan DoCommunityLeadershipJusticePartyPrinciplesFourPolicyColorVictoryRepublicanRight NowQuietElectionImportant ThingsStrategyUnitySignificantIdeologyVotingPalePolitical PartiesPartisanshipGood YearsPastel Author:Ted Cruz

“Why all this insistence on the senses? Because in order to convince your reader that he is THERE, you must assault each of his senses, in turn, with color, sound, taste, and texture. If your reader feels the sun on his flesh, the wind fluttering his shirt sleeves, half your fight is won. The most improbable tales can be made believable, if your reader, through his senses, feels certain that he stands at the middle of events. He cannot refuse, then, to participate. The logic of events always gives way to the logic of the senses.” IfsWayGivingFeelsMadeCertainOrderTurnsFightingSoundHalfSunMiddleEventsColorWindReaderTasteLogicRefuseFleshSensesTalesShirtsConvinceAssaultTextureSleevesImprobableBelievableInsistenceFluttering Author:Ray Bradbury

“[Trump's worldview states] that, for example, women are incompetent as compared to men in business settings. That women in general are intellectually inferior and have to make up for that by using their sexuality to get ahead. That women of color are angry, irrational, lazy, and always ready to get into a fight for no reason. That men in the workplace can say incredibly racist and sexist things, and as long as they make more money than their competitors, the racist and sexist things they say and do are totally acceptable.” MenLongStatesReasonFightingExampleColorReadyTrumpAngrySexualitySettingSettingsLazyRacistNo ReasonAcceptableMore MoneyInferiorsIrrationalWorkplaceCompetitorsWorldviewIncompetentSexistGet Ahead Author:Jennifer Pozner
“If we write our laws and design them around the most privileged members of society, i.e., billionaire football team owner, then we forget about the people who don't have the same resources to make an appeal, to fight a wrongful accusation. Those tend to be members of the LGBT community and people of color because those are the people who tend to engage in the work of reappropriation to subvert discrimination. And yet those are the same ones being denied, based on their own identities.” PeopleIfsWritingLawFightingCommunityForgetTeamDesignIdentityFootballColorMembersResourcesDiscriminationAppealsOwnersLgbtDeniedPrivilegedBillionaireAccusationFootball TeamLgbt Community Author:Simon Tam
