“Generally, the arguments for same-sex marriage go along these lines: 'I have a civil right.' What the homosexual movement wants to do is to hitch their agenda to the civil rights movement, but I point out that this is illegitimate for a number of reasons. Number one, no black person has ever left his black-ness or changed his black-ness, but plenty of people have come out of the homosexual movement. What we need to do is distinguish between race and behavior.” PeopleWantNeedsPersonsReasonLeftSexBlackLinesNumbersRaceRightsMovementChangedBehaviorArgumentCivil RightsPlentyAgendasHomosexualCivil Rights MovementBlack Person Author:Erwin W.

“In my work, you get used to criticisms. Of course you do, because there are a lot of people trying to get you down, but I always cheer up immensely if one is particularly wounding because I think well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left. That is why my father always taught me: never worry about anyone who attacks you personally; it means their arguments carry no weight and they know it.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsTryingWellsMeanPoliticalUsedCoursesFatherLeftWorryTaughtArgumentCriticismWeightCheerCheer UpPolitical Arguments Author:Margaret Thatcher

“Unlike proportionality, progression provides no principle which tells us what the relative burden of different persons ought to be the argument based on the presumed justice of progression provides no limitation, as has often been admitted by its supporters, before all incomes above a certain figure are confiscated, and those below left untaxed.” PersonsDifferentCertainLeftJusticePrinciplesFiguresOughtArgumentBurdenIncomeLimitationRelativeSupporterProgressionProportionality Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“If you work through the existing structures you are going to be corrupted. By working through political system that poisons the atmosphere, even the progressive organizations, you can see it even nowadays in the US, where people on the "Left" are all caught in the electoral campaign and get into fierce arguments about should we support this third party candidate or that third party candidate. This is a sort of little piece of evidence that suggests that when you get into working through electoral politics you begin to corrupt your ideals.” PeopleIfsShouldLittlesPoliticalLeftPartySupportPiecesEvidenceIdealsArgumentOrganizationThirdsStructureCaughtCampaignsAtmosphereCandidatesPoisonProgressiveFiercePolitical SystemsThird Parties Author:Howard Zinn
