A new breed of Republicans has taken over the GOP. It is a new breed which is seeking to sell to Americans a doctrine which is as old as mankind – the doctrine of racial division, the doctrine of racial prejudice, the doctrine of white supremacy.

It’s impossible, I think, however much I’d become disillusioned politically or evolve into a post-political person, I don’t think I’d ever change my view that socialism is the best political moment humans have ever come up with.

I would remind you the lesser of two socialists is still a socialist.

The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department.

In the last several years, I have been troubled by the right shift of the Republican party too far to the right.

In the US, there is basically one party – the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population.

The American doctor, in my opinion, possesses a combination of conservatism and that other quality which has put the United States in the forefront in almost every department of science – that is, an eagerness to know what it is really all about in order that he may not be the one left behind if there is something to it.

Only Americans can hurt America.

Socialism, reduced to its simplest legal and practical expression, means the complete discarding of the institution of private property by transforming it into public property, and the division of the resultant public income equally and indiscriminately among the entire population.

I believe the Republicans have never thought that democracy was anything but a tribal myth.

Racial prejudice, anti-Semitism, or hatred of anyone with different beliefs has no place in the human mind or heart.

Ronald Reagan used to alarm other constituencies by speaking freely about the End Times foreshadowed in the Bible.

We can’t have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.

We’ve become, now, an oligarchy instead of a democracy. I think that’s been the worst damage to the basic moral and ethical standards to the American political system that I’ve ever seen in my life.

Republicans have been accused of abandoning the poor. It’s the other way around. They never vote for us.

Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar.

Of all the men that have run for president in the twentieth century, only George McGovern truly understood what a monument America could be to the human race.

A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues.

When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.

Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.

How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

Objective journalism is one of the main reasons that American politics has been allowed to be so corrupt for so long.

I think many people in my community had very different kinds of mothers: they had mothers who acquiesced in the system of male and white-supremacist domination, and my mother never did. She just could not do it. It just wasn’t in her.

We reached a high point in my opinion with the passage of the civil rights legislation and Martin Luther King’s success and the crusade of others. I think we kind of breathed a sigh of relief as if we had achieved the end of racial discrimination or white supremacy.

If people continue to feel like Democrats are looking after poor folks and Republicans are looking after rich folks and nobody is looking after me, then we don’t get a lot of stuff done. And the trend lines evidence the fact that folks have gotten squeezed. And obviously, 2007, 2008 really ripped open for people how vulnerable they were.

All people are born alike – except Republicans and Democrats.

Communists have always played an active role in the fight by colonial countries for their freedom, because the short-term objects of Communism would always correspond with the long-term objects of freedom movements.

The American people abhor a vacuum.

Democrats never agree on anything, that’s why they’re Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they would be Republicans.

A radical generally meant a man who thought he could somehow pull up the root without affecting the flower. A conservative generally meant a man who wanted to conserve everything except his own reason for conserving anything.

The big divide in this country is not between Democrats and Republicans, or women and men, but between talkers and doers.

We can be civil. We can still be friends, and be Democrats and Republicans, and have different views.

I have always been an old-line Henry Clay Whig.

The term ‚the American Left‘ is as near to being meaningless or nonsensical as any term could really be in politics. It isn’t really a force in politics anymore. And it would do well to ask itself why that is.

Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child.

Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.

The American people would not want to know of any misquotes that Dan Quayle may or may not make.

Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them.

All conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change.

I had very good support from Democrats and Republicans all throughout my administration. I had a very high batting average. We added more jobs per year in my four years than any other president since the Second World War.

I joined a small but growing post-Trotskyite Luxembourgist sect.

Here was buried Thomas Jefferson Author of the Declaration of American Independence Of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom & Father of the University of Virginia.

I think the American people, with some justification, think that most politicians live in la-la land.

There are a lot of conservative people, a lot of moderate people, Republicans, Democrats, in Hollywood. It is just that the conservative people by the nature of the word itself play closer to the vest. They do not go around hot dogging it.

There is a specter haunting Europe, the specter of Communism.

The American people are entitled to see the president and to hear his views directly, and not to see him only through the press.

If the American people don’t love me, their descendants will.

When you’re young, you’re very reckless. Then you get conservative. Then you get reckless again.

So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.

Republicans are men of narrow vision, who are afraid of the future.

I’m sure we, the American people, are the butt of jokes by those in power.

We must always remember that the Chinese revolution was not a peasant’s revolution, but one of the extreme Right.
