“Two-factor economics makes it clear that our economic problem is not what one-factor (labor-centric) thinkers assert: an inequitable distribution of income. It is an inequitable distribution of productive power, from which an unworkable distribution of income results.” TwoProblemWisdomPoliticsResultsEconomyClearEconomicEconomicsLaborIncomeFactorsLiberalismProductiveThinkerDistributionEconomic Problems Author:Louis O.

“It is clear that the main tenet of socialism, community of goods, must be utterly rejected, since it only injures those whom it would seem meant to benefit, is directly contrary to the natural rights of mankind, and would introduce confusion and disorder into the commonweal. The first and most fundamental principle, therefore, if one would undertake to alleviate the condition of the masses, must be the inviolability of private property.” IfsFirstsWisdomSeemsPoliticsCommunityNaturalPrinciplesEconomyClearRightsConditionsMankindBenefitsMassFundamentalsPropertyContrarySocialismConfusionLiberalismGoodsMeant To BeDisorderIntroducingRejectedPrivate PropertyAlleviateFundamental PrinciplesNatural Rights Book:A Light in the Heavens: Great Encyclical Letters of Pope Leo XIII Source: A Light in the Heavens: Great Encyclical Letters of Pope Leo XIII

“It is perfectly clear that people, given no alternative, will choose tyranny over anarchy, because anarchy is the worst tyranny of all... The special nature of liberties is that they can be defended only as long as we still have them. So the very first signs of their erosion must be resisted, whether the issue be domestic surveillance by the Army, so-called preventive detention, or the freedom of corporate television, or that of a campus newspaper.” PeopleFirstsLongStillsPoliticsGivenLibertyEconomyIssuesClearWorstSpecialTelevisionArmyNewspapersTyrannyAlternativesCorporateLiberalismAnarchySurveillanceCampusErosionDetention Author:Eric Sevareid
“I've been described as a tough and noisy woman, a prize fighter, a man-hater, you name it. They call me Battling Bella, Mother Courage, and a Jewish mother with more complaints than Portnoy. There are those who say I'm impatient, impetuous, uppity, rude, profane, brash, and overbearing. Whether I'm any of those things, or all of them, you can decide for yourself.

“Now let's make two things clear: ISIL is not 'Islamic.' No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL's victims have been Muslim. And ISIL is certainly not a state. It was formerly al Qaeda's affiliate in Iraq, and has taken advantage of sectarian strife and Syria's civil war to gain territory on both sides of the Iraq-Syrian border. It is recognized by no government, nor the people it subjugates. ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple. And it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way.” PeopleWayHas BeensTwoWarStatesRealityGovernmentReligionPoliticsSidesCommunityLeadershipSimpleVisionClassTakenClearViolenceGenerationsPolicyPureEthicsGainsAdvantageOrganizationVictimMajorityStrategyUnityKillingHuman RightsIraqTerrorismTerroristIdeologyBordersCivil WarTwo ThingsIslamicAlsTerritoryForeign PolicySyriaStrifeBoth SidesSlaughterAl QaedaIsilIslamic TerrorismTaken Advantage Author:Barack Obama
