“I fundamentally believe that politics is counterintuitive. The left think they're helping working people by providing more rights, but all that actually happens is you create poverty and despair, because jobs go to your competitors who have fewer rights for workers.” PeopleThinkingBelieveHelpingHappensJobsLeftPovertyRightsDespairWorkersFewerProvidingCompetitors Author:Louise Mensch
“Generally, the arguments for same-sex marriage go along these lines: 'I have a civil right.' What the homosexual movement wants to do is to hitch their agenda to the civil rights movement, but I point out that this is illegitimate for a number of reasons. Number one, no black person has ever left his black-ness or changed his black-ness, but plenty of people have come out of the homosexual movement.

“If you dropped me off a space platform onto the ground where a line was drawn, I would fall to the left side of it. I believe the difference between right and left is that the right, for the most part, the bulk of their philosophy is interested in property, and the rights of people to own property and gain and acquire and keep property. And I think on the left - though they blend and mix - on the left primarily you will find people who are more concerned about humans, and the human condition, and what can be done.” PeopleIfsThinkingBelieveHumansDonePhilosophyFallLeftI BelieveSidesDifferencesLinesSpaceRightsConditionsGainsConcernedPropertyAcquireHuman ConditionPlatforms Author:George Carlin
