“Natural politicians are skilled actors, recreating reality, adjusting and ad-libbing, synthesizing the scenes, saying the same thing over and over again and making it seem that theyare saying it for the first time.” FirstsRealitySeemsActorsNaturalPoliticianSceneFirst TimeAdsAdjustingSaying The Same Thing Over And Over Book:First In His Class: A Biography Of Bill Clinton Source: First In His Class: A Biography Of Bill Clinton
“As Stephen Jay Gould pointed out in Time, in no other Western country is the teaching of Evolution regarded as controversial. Throughout the world, one way or another, most Christian denominations have managed to reconcile belief in God with belief in the mechanisms of natural selection. A French or German or Scandinavian politician who called for students to entertain as a reasonable deduction from existing evidence the proposition that Earth is at most 10,000 years old would be bundled off to a mental hospital.” WorldWayYearsCountryWould BeEarthChristianBeliefNaturalAtheismTeachingStudentsEvolutionPoliticianEvidenceWesternPositive AtheismOne WayReasonableHospitalsMechanismPropositionsSelectionControversialReconcileNatural SelectionBelief In GodDeductionsDenominationsScandinaviansChristian DenominationsJay Gould Author:Katha Pollitt

“Anybody who was a politician at one stage - when they were at the "I'd like to be a train driver" stage of their lives - must also have thought: "I'd like to make the world a better place if possible." So, I think that's why most politicians go into it. They don't want to take over the world and most go into it for good reasons and then, presumably, are beset by endless things stopping them from following their natural inclination to do the right thing.” ThinkingWorldReasonNaturalPoliticianTrainRight Thing Author:Tom Hollander
