“If I believe in something, I will fight for it with all I have. But I do not demand all or nothing. I would rather get something than nothing. Professional liberals want the fiery debate. They glory in defeat. The hardest job for a politician today is to have the courage to be a moderate. It's easy to take an extreme position.” IfsWantBelieveTodayJobsFightingI BelieveEasyPositionPoliticianDemandGloryDefeatExtremesI Believe InDebateHardestModeratesFieryHardest Job Author:Hubert H.

“I have never seen an adequate description anywhere of the amazement, the uncomprehending horror of the bulk of the American people which preceded the firing of that gun at Sumter. Politicians or far-sighted leaders on both sides knew what was coming. And it is they who have written histories of the war. But to the easy-going millions, busied with their farms or shops, the onrushing disaster was as inexplicable as an earthquake. Their protest arose from sea to sea like the clamor of a gigantic hive of frightened bees.” PeopleWarEasySidesLeaderMillionsWrittenSeaPoliticianHorrorGunDisasterCivil WarShopsDescriptionProtestFrightenedFarmsBeesBoth SidesAdequateEarthquakesAmazementInexplicableFiringClamorHivesEasy GoingWritten History Author:Rebecca Harding Davis

“After a decade of profligacy, the American people are tired of politicians who talk the talk but don't walk the walk when it comes to fiscal responsibility. It's easy to get up in front of the cameras and rant against exploding deficits. What's hard is actually getting deficits under control. But that's what we must do.

“Three strikes' laws make no sense as policy. They are more about the politicians responding to the people's desire to see their fury at social dysfunction reflected in the law. Our sentences are way too long. We need to look at the war on drugs, which is to say we need to look and this is easier said than done. Once again, politically, not an easy lift at all. Nevertheless, our policy is self-defeating. We're not keeping people from using the substances. We're creating a huge black market, just like we did under prohibition, which attracts all kinds of criminal enterprise.” PeopleKindLongWarDoneDesireEasyBlackPolicyPoliticianDrugAll KindsEnterpriseFuryProhibitionWar On Drugs Author:Glenn Loury
