“I have also been attacked by my opponents as someone seeking to purge university faculties of leftist professors. This is false. The first provision of the Academic Bill of Rights is that no professor should be hired or fired because of his or her political views. I have never myself called for the firing of any professor for his or her political views, nor would I.” ShouldFirstsPoliticalViewsRightsBillsUniversitySeekingOpponentsFacultyProfessorsAcademicProvisionBill Of RightsFiringLeftistsPolitical View Author:David Horowitz
“We study the glory of God, and the honour and liberty of parliament, for which we unanimously fight, without seeking our own interests... I profess I could never satisfy myself on the justness of this war, but from the authority of the parliament to maintain itself in its rights; and in this cause I hope to prove myself an honest man and single-hearted.” MenWarFightingCausesInterestLibertyStudyRightsHonestProveAuthorityGlorySeekingHonourParliamentHeartedGlory Of GodHonest ManProve Myself Book:Oliver Cromwell's letters & speeches: with elucidations Source: Oliver Cromwell's letters & speeches: with elucidations
“Nobody needs to justify why they "need" a right: the burden of justification falls on the one seeking to infringe upon the right. But even if they did, you can't give away the rights of others because they're not useful to you. More simply, the majority cannot vote away the natural rights of the minority. Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.” NeedsGivingDifferentCareFallNaturalRightsSpeechVoteMajoritySeekingBurdenDon't CareArguingPrivacyMinoritiesJustifyJustificationFree SpeechNatural RightsRight To Privacy Author:Edward Snowden

“I think we left out one of the really important elements contributing to the dynamism of society, and that is the right to privacy. I mean something more than the right to shave in private. I mean the right to join what I want to join, to do what I want to do, or not to do what I might do without giving anyone a reason, either in advance or afterwards. That does not mean that I am seeking for irresponsibility socially.” ThinkingWantGivingMeanDoeImportantReasonMightLeftRightsSocietyElementsSeekingPrivacyContributingLeft OutIrresponsibilityDynamismRight To Privacy Author:Chester Barnard

“Other than our disagreement over Syria, I would say our relationship with Russia is very good and we are seeking to broaden and deepen it. Twenty million Russians are Muslims. Like Russia, we have an interest in fighting radicalism and extremism. We both have an interest in stable energy markets. Even the disagreement over Syria is more of a tactical one than a strategic one. We both want a unified Syria that is stable in which all Syrians enjoy equal rights.” WantFightingEnergyEnjoyInterestMillionsRightsEqualTwentiesVery GoodSeekingRussiaStableOur RelationshipSyriaEqual RightsStrategicExtremismDisagreementUnifiedTacticalRadicalism Author:Adel al-Jubeir
