Hopeful people are more easily controlled, but the volume must be managed. Too much hope leaves a person emboldened and resistant. Too little leaves them disabled and useless. But just the right amount of hope subjugates them. They cradle it like a dying ember, and they'll do anything to keep the wind from extinguishing it. They'll serve.
State first, subject second, statesman last.
Democracy doesn't mean spreading terror.
The ugliest government is the one which is spreading fear to its own people! The finest government is the one which encourages its own people to criticize the government harshly.
It has been my personal experience that the government engages in a wide range of frauds with the common people.
Free elections don't always result in fair elections.
A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.
Failing to indict a criminal sitting president sends the message that those in power are above the law.
A president who has incited violence inspires citizens towards hate and violence.
Those who incite violence have no business lecturing others about unity.
Violence isn't a Democrat or Republican problem. It's an American problem, requiring an American solution.
If you voted for a man who said "Grab em by the pussy," you have zero room to claim to protect anyone in bathrooms.
Leadership by deception isn't leadership. It's fraud.
We must acknowledge and take responsibility for the conflicts we have helped to create, and act to create real change. That, after all, is the true hallmark of democracy--a commitment to justice, honest self-appraisal, and action--even when it means challenging ourselves and the political institutions we hold most dear.
Truth is hard, propaganda is cheap.
No matter their party, people with a conflict of interest should be banned from the Electoral College.
Accepting fraud from our leaders means accepting fraud in our personal lives.
Fascism thrives in obscurity and darkness.
If you lay with a scorpion, don't be surprised when it finally stings you.
Electing a bigot enables further bigotry.
Denying the popular vote is un-American and anti-democratic.
I've fought for religious freedom and I can tell you that anti-gay 'religious freedom' bills aren't it.
Today's 'religious freedom' policies should not be seen as a problem limited to LGBT people but as a co-optation of religion that affects us all.
Leaders who do not help the people must be replaced by the people.
Corrupt and incompetent police officers have a long history of being protected by their colleagues, police internal affairs and the government.
Bad governments always lie because telling the truth requires honour and courage!
If you want to be lied to, all you have to do is believe everything that the government tells you.
There is an intentional disregard for human health and safety in many government agencies that are tasked with protecting it.
Whether voting Republican or Democrat, the result is the same: A corrupt corporate government.
It is clear that the protective functions of workplace health and safety have transferred to the workers through the process of corporate government deregulation and reduced funding of relevant government departments.
What can you expect from a stupid government? Anything good? Anything useful, anything clever? Anything just? No! You can expect nothing but stupidity, nothing but mistakes, nothing but injustices and tragedies! All a stupid government can do is to produce wrecks and debris!
Government scientists are commonly as corrupt as the corporate government that employs them.
Police internal affairs is amongst the most corrupt departments that you will find in governments.
I sincerely hope that President Barack Obama’s government will be remembered as the peak of deregulated corporate corruption and not the ongoing rise of it.
You know that when ex-military personnel start assassinating their own government's agents that something funky is going on.
As long as there exist stupid people supporting stupid governments in their countries, people living in those countries will continue fluttering badly in the cesspool created by this utter foolishness!
Behind the facade of elected government are a bunch of corporate controlled gangsters running the country.
In any country where there is a dishonorable government, there is certainly a dishonorable nation!
Injustice and lawlessness is the greatest terror a government can ever enforce on its own people!
