“The ongoing war in Afghanistan is being imposed on us, and Afghans are being sacrificed in it for someone else's interests. We are not blocking the interests of the United States or other major powers.

“In the 2012 election, Obamacare, as it's called, and I'll be more polite - the ACA ...was a major issue in the campaign. I campaigned all over America for two months, everywhere I could. And in every single campaign rally I said, 'We have to repeal and replace Obamacare.' Well, the people spoke. They spoke, much to my dismay, but they spoke. And they reelected the President of the United States.” PeopleWellsSaidTwoStatesRealityAmericaPoliticalPoliticsPresidentCommunityLeadershipJusticeUnitedPartyHistoryUnited StatesDemocracyIssuesHuman NaturePolicyHealthMonthsMajorsEthicsConstitutionElectionStrategyUnityCampaignsIdeologyVotingSpokesPolitePolitical PartiesCivilityObamacareTwo MonthsDismay2012 ElectionAca Author:John McCain
“Major Greene this evening fell into some conversation with me about the Divinity and satisfaction of Jesus Christ. All the argument he advanced was, "that a mere creature or finite being could not make satisfaction to infinite justice for any crimes," and that "these things are very mysterious." Thus mystery is made a convenient cover for absurdity.” MadeWisdomJesusChristJusticeMysteryCrimeConversationCreaturesMajorsJesus ChristArgumentInfiniteMereSatisfactionMysteriousEveningDivinityAbsurdityFiniteConvenient Book:Diary and Autobiography of John Adams: Diary, 1755-1770 Source: Diary and Autobiography of John Adams: Diary, 1755-1770
“America's universities are filled with economically ignorant haters of the free market, so university campuses have become major forums for union denunciations of such companies as Nike, Wal-mart, and others. Faculty and students claim to be concerned about 'social justice,' but they are simply being used as dupes by unions who are not at all concerned with justice of any sort. Rather, their main concern is increasing the coffers of union treasuries by driving non-union competitors from the market.” AmericaUsedSocialJusticeCompanyStudentsMajorsConcernConcernedClaimsSocial JusticeFilledUnionsUniversityDrivingIgnorantFacultyCompetitorsFree MarketCampusTreasuryForumsNikeDupes Author:Thomas DiLorenzo
“The nature of the state is one thing, but there are other major challenges - what it will take to tackle the issues of social corruption, for example, social justice, and the economic system - and what are the future challenges when it comes to equality between the citizens, in particular in the field of the job market and equal opportunity for men and for women?

“We have seven and a half times as many people in prison. And we have eight times as many black women in prison now as we did in 1981, when I left the White House.

“Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter. I won't have any money to leave behind. I won't have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just want to leave a committed life behind. And that's all I want to say.” IfsWantMatterJusticeBehindsFineMajorsCommittedRighteousnessShallowLuxuriousDrum Major Book:The Essential Martin Luther King, Jr.: Source: The Essential Martin Luther King, Jr.:
