“Good government cannot be found on the bargain-counter. We have seen samples of bargain-counter government in the past when low tax rates were secured by increasing the bonded debt for current expenses or refusing to keep our institutions up to the standard in repairs, extensions, equipment, and accommodations. I refuse, and the Republican Party refuses, to endorse that method of sham and shoddy economy.” GovernmentPastFoundPartyEconomyRepublicanTaxesLowsStandardsEconomicsMethodInstitutionsRateCurrentsRefuseDebtExpensesExtensionsRepublican PartyEquipmentBargainsSampleSecuredAccommodations Author:Calvin Coolidge

“Over the last few years a lot of people have become aware of the inequities in the criminal justice system, right now, with our overall crime rate and incarceration rate both falling, we're at a moment when some good people in both parties, Republicans and Democrats and folks all across the country, are coming up with ideas to make the system work smarter and better.” PeopleYearsIdeasCountryMomentsLastsFallJusticePartyCrimeRepublicanRight NowDemocratRateFolksCriminalsGood PeopleSmarterJustice SystemCriminal JusticeIncarcerationCriminal Justice SystemCrime Rates Author:Barack Obama
“No segment of the population has lost more by the agendas of the liberal constituencies of the Democratic Party than the black population. The teachers' unions, environmental fanatics and the ACLU are just some of the groups to whose interests blacks have been sacrificed wholesale.

“No passion is stronger in the breast of man than the desire to make others believe as he believes. Nothing so cuts at the root of his happiness and fills him with rage as the sense that another rates low what he prizes high. Whigs and Tories, Liberal party and Labour party - for what do they battle except their own prestige? It is not love of truth but desire to prevail that sets quarter against quarter and makes subserviency rather than the triumph of truth and the exaltation of virtue - but these moralities belong, and should be left to the historian, since they are as dull as ditch water.” MenShouldBelieveDesirePassionLeftWaterPartyVirtueCuttingMoralityBattleLowsRootsStrongerRateRageTriumphDullBreastsLabourPrizeHistorianQuartersPrestigeExaltationLabour PartyLiberal Party Book:Orlando: A Biography Source: Orlando: A Biography
