“[The right] may never bring prayer back to schools, but it has rescued all manner of rightwing economic nostrums from history's dustbins. Having rolled back the landmark economic reforms of the sixties (the war on poverty) and those of the thirties (labor law, agricultural price supports, banking regulation), its leaders now turn their guns on the accomplishments of the earliest years of progressivism (Woodrow Wilson's estate tax; Theodore Roosevelt's anti-trust measures). With a little more effort, the backlash may well repeal the entire twentieth century.” YearsWellsMayLittlesWarSchoolLawTurnsPrayerEffortLeaderPovertySupportEconomicCenturyTaxesGunLaborReformAccomplishmentRegulationSixtyEstatesBankingTwentieth CenturyWilsonLandmarksBacklashProgressivismTheodoreWar On PovertyDustbinLabor LawsEconomic ReformsEstate Taxes Author:Thomas Frank
“Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society, hence they do not believe in vote begging, nor political campaigns, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals. We look away from government for relief, because we know that force (legalized) invades the personal liberty of man, seizes upon the natural elements and intervenes between man and natural laws; from this exercise of force through governments flows nearly all the misery, poverty, crime and confusion existing in society.” ThinkingKnowsMenBelieveLooksLongSelfGovernmentLawPoliticalIndividualForceNaturalLibertyPovertyCrimeDevelopmentPeriodsExerciseElementsFlowVoteFundamentalsMiseryCampaignsConfusionReliefAnarchismAnarchistBeggingNatural LawPolitical CampaignPersonal LibertyChanges In SocietyNatural Elements Author:Lucy Parsons
“What makes the Southern Poverty Law Center particularly odious is its habit of taking legitimate conservatives and jumbling them with genuine hate groups (the Klan, Aryan Nation, skinheads, etc.), to make it appear that there's a logical relationship between say opposing affirmative action and lynching, or demands for an end to government services for illegal aliens and attacks on dark-skinned immigrants. The late novelist/philosopher Ayn Rand called this 'the broad-brush smear.'” EndsGovernmentActionLawHateNationsDarkPovertyGroupsHabitDemandLatePhilosopherGenuineAliensNovelistsEtcImmigrantsLogicalIllegalBroadsSouthernBrushesOpposingAffirmative ActionAffirmativeLynchingIllegal AliensDark SkinnedHate GroupsGovernment Service Author:Don Feder
