“When the concept of Social Security came before the House, every Republican but one voted against it. Had it not been for the Democrats, Social Security would never have passed, and our older people would not have this great support that our people provide. It has been my experience that Democrats generally vote to protect the people, while Republicans seem to try to protect the interests of big business.” PeopleTryingHas BeensBigsSeemsPoliticalHousePoliticsSocialInterestSupportSecurityRepublicanProtectConceptsVoteDemocratSocial SecurityBig BusinessOlder People Author:Sam Rayburn

“One thing I hate about the New Deal is that it is killing what, to me, is the American pioneering spirit. I simply do not know what to tell my own boys, leaving school and confronting this new world whose ideal is Security and whose practice is dependence upon government instead of upon one's self.

“People will often, almost always, prefer a male God. A male image of God gives them this sense of security, safety, order, no nonsense. So that's where their psyche is at. Probably it's something that they've got to go through. Not that there isn't a need for order in the world, but the mystical level seems to be the mature level of religion, and there the question is not order but union - divine union. And so, without some integration of the feminine, usually you never get to the mystical level.” PeopleWorldNeedsGivingSeemsOrderLevelsSecurityDivineSafetyUnionsMalesNonsenseMatureFeminineMysticalIntegrationGod ImageNo Nonsense Author:Richard Rohr
