“I cannot... perceive any ground for hoping that any practical good would, while the funding system exists in its present extent, result from the adoption of any of those projects, which have professed to have in view what is called Parliamentary Reform... when the funding system, from whatever cause, shall cease to operate upon civil and political liberty, there will be no need of projects for parliamentary reform. The parliament will, as far as shall be necessary, then reform itself.” NeedsPoliticalCausesResultsViewsLibertyProjectsPracticalsCeaseReformPerceiveAdoptionParliamentFundingParliamentary Author:William Cobbett
“Long ago, there was a noble word, liberal, which derives from the word free. Now a strange thing happened to that word. A man named Hitler made it a term of abuse, a matter of suspicion, because those who were not with him were against him, and liberals had no use for Hitler. And then another man named McCarthy cast the same opprobrium on the word. ... We must cherish and honor the word free or it will cease to apply to us.” MenLongMadeMatterUsePoliticalTermPartyHappenedStrangeHonorAbuseCastsNobleThings HappenCeaseMade ItCherishSuspicionLong AgoPolitical PartiesAnother ManStrange Things Author:Eleanor Roosevelt
