“However, I also want to say this. The ranch standoff that took place out in Nevada was not about a man named Cliven Bundy. At the heart of this issue was my belief that our government is simply out of control. Now, to me, this was about a federal agency’s dangerous response to a situation that could have resulted in a catastrophe, and that means people dying and people being shot, kind of comparable to what we saw in Waco, Texas.” PeopleMenWantHeartKindMeanGovernmentBeliefSituationIssuesSawsDyingDangerousShotsResponseAgencyTexasCatastropheMean PeopleNevadaPeople DyingStandoffs Author:Sean Hannity
“My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town ... a German soldier shot her dead in her bed. My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploit the continuing guilt from gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians.” HomeGovernmentDiesBedShotsMurderTownsGuiltSoldierIllJewGrandmotherHolocaustJustificationPalestinianContinuingNaziMy GrandmotherExploitsIsraeliSlaughterGazaGentilesHome TownGerman SoldiersIsraeli Soldiers Author:Gerald Kaufman
“Every man that tried to destroy the Government, every man that shot at the holy flag in heaven, every man that starved our soldiers... every man that wanted to burn the negro, every one that wanted to scatter yellow fever in the North, every man that opposed human liberty, that regarded the auction-block as an altar and the howling of the bloodhound as the music of the Union, every man who wept over the corpse of slavery, that thought lashes on the naked back were a legal tender for labour performed, every one willing to rob a mother of her child - every solitary one was a Democrat.” MenHumansChildrenWarGovernmentWantedMotherHeavenLibertyHistoryWillingHolyShotsSlaveryUnionsDemocratSoldierEvery ManNakedBlockCivil WarLabourYellowFlagsSolitaryCorpsesAltarsFeverAmerican Civil WarLashesAuctionsYellow FeverBloodhounds Author:Robert Green Ingersoll
“Most gun dealers follow the law and run honest businesses. But the statistics show that 1 percent of dealers sell more than half of all illegal guns. Why isn't the federal government going after them? Here's one reason: unlike mayors, members of Congress don't get a phone call in the middle of the night when a cop is shot and killed. They don't deliver the eulogies.” ReasonShowsGovernmentRunningLawNightHalfMiddleHonestMembersPercentGunShotsSellsCongressPhonesIllegalStatisticsCopFederal GovernmentMayorsPhone CallsDealerEulogyMiddle Of The NightIllegal Guns Author:Michael Bloomberg
“A monarchy is like a man-of-war--bad shots between wind and water hurt it exceedingly; there is danger of capsizing. But democracy is a raft. You cannot easily overturn it.

“... war reporting is still essentially the same - someone has to go there and see what is happening. You can't get that information without going to places where people are being shot at, and others are shooting at you. The real difficulty is having enough faith in humanity to believe that enough people, be they government, military or the man on the street, will care when your file reaches the printed page, the website or the TV screen.” PeopleMenBelieveStillsWarRealEnoughGovernmentCareHumanityStreetsMilitaryInformationHe ManTvsPagesHappeningsShotsDifficultyScreensShootingFilesWebsitePrintedFaith In Humanity Author:Marie Colvin
