“Never will we be able to understand our times if we naively 'think' of this system of self Government as the work of a few gangsters or the creation of a pack of criminals we call a political party. The appeal of Socialism, Fascism and communism was principally negative; they were protests against a live and let live anything goes liberalism, a spineless indifference to causes, a failure to recognize that nothing was evil enough to hate, and nothing was good enough to die for.” IfsThinkingSelfEnoughGovernmentAblePoliticalHateDiesEvilCausesPartyCreationNegativeCriminalsSocialismCommunismAppealsIndifferenceOur TimeLiberalismProtestGood EnoughFascismPacksPolitical PartiesGangstersSelf-governmentAnything GoesLive And Let LiveSpineless Author:Fulton J.

“And uh, so, I'm running for a reason. I'm answering this question here and the answer is, you cannot lead America to a positive tomorrow with revenge on one's mind. Revenge is so incredibly negative. And so to answer your question, I'm going to win because people sense my heart, know my sense of optimism and know where I want to lead the country. And I tease people by saying, "A leader, you can't say, follow me the world is going to be worse." I'm an optimistic person.
