“Whether the issue was black political power or nuclear power, Scott-Heron didn't mince words.

“The conflict between the principle of liberty and the fact of slavery is coming gradually to an issue. Slavery has now the power, and falls into convulsions at the approach of freedom. That the fall of slavery is predetermined in the counsels of Omnipotence I cannot doubt; it is a part of the great moral improvement in the condition of man, attested by all the records of history. But the conflict will be terrible, and the progress of improvement perhaps retrograde before its final progress to consummation.” MenFactsFallLibertyMoralPrinciplesIssuesDoubtRecordsProgressConditionsTerribleConflictApproachSlaveryFinalsImprovementOmnipotencePredeterminedRetrograde Book:Memoirs of John Quincy Adams: Comprising Portions of His Diary from 1795 to 1848 Source: Memoirs of John Quincy Adams: Comprising Portions of His Diary from 1795 to 1848

“I kept careful record of the impact of religion on the election in my county. The religious issue permeated every meeting I conducted. It influenced Republicans and Democrats alike. Ministers preached politics publicly and churches distributed the most vicious electioneering materials. Practically no one I met escaped the pressure of this overriding problem and both parties were ultimately forced to make their major calculations with the religious question a foremost consideration.” ProblemChurchReligiousPartyIssuesRecordsAtheismMaterialsRepublicanMetsMajorsPressureElectionImpactMeetingsDemocratCarefulMinistersConsiderationViciousCalculationsCounty Author:James A.

“Believe it or not, I supported Richard Nixon on the issue of presidential privilege.

“The government's collection authority, under the Patriot Act, is basically limitless. They can get the medical records and financial records, gun purchase records.

“The goal of the 'liberals' - as it emerges from the record of the past decades - was to smuggle this country into welfare statism by means of single, concrete, specific measures, enlarging the power of the government a step at a time, never permitting these steps to be summed up into principles, never permitting their direction to be identified or the basic issue to be named. Thus, statism was to come, not by vote or by violence, but by slow rot - by a long process of evasion and epistemological corruption, leading to a fait accompli.” MeanLongCountryGovernmentPastProcessGoalStepsPrinciplesIssuesRecordsViolenceVoteCorruptionDecadesWelfareConcreteEvasion Author:Ayn Rand
