“At every election, my vote goes to the candidate less likely to declare war. You're dropping hugely expensive pieces of exploding metal on a population. America deserves the president it gets, whether the country votes for them or allows their vote to be stolen, and the least we can do is to elect someone who won't do that to other people.” PeopleWarCountryAmericaPresidentCan DoPiecesDeserveVoteElectionPopulationCandidatesExpensiveMetalsStolenDroppingExploding Author:Ian MacKaye

You can have one, or you can have the other, but you certainly cannot have both. As to that, either concept is a rather futile goal. Equality is biologically impossible, and liberty is only obtainable in homogeneous populations very thinly spread.” GoalPresidentRealizingLibertyImpossibleSpeechConceptsSouthPopulationSpreadSouth AfricaComradeNelsonBright FutureHomogeneousLiberty And Equality Author:Jeff Cooper

“It's not dissimilar to what we see with the president of Russia, who uses a minority there, the lesbian, gay, bisexual community ... and he goes after them with great relish because he knows that it's going to resonate with a part of the population.” KnowsUsePresidentCommunityGayPopulationRussiaMinoritiesRelishBisexual Author:Thomas Mulcair
