| 2135963 | Whenever the church, consciously or unconsciously, caters to one class it loses the spiritual force of the "whoso-ever will, let him come" doctrine, and is in danger of becoming little more than a social club with a thin veneer of religiosity." | Clayborne Carson | ||

| 75a52c2 | In 1522, the country now known as Venezuela was colonized by Spain. Venezuela declared independence from Colombia In 1830. During the 19th and most of the 20th centuries Venezuela was ruled by caudillos or military strongmen. In the 1950's, Venezuela became a good example of a Latin American Country, ruled by a benevolent dictator on the very far right. This automatically made Venezuela our ally and thus received huge grants from us. Presid.. | south-american-history venezuela | Captain Hank Bracker "Salty & Saucy Maine" | |
| c91aae2 | FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, people from every corner of the planet have flocked to New York City for the reason Frank Sinatra immortalized: to prove they could "make it." The allure, the prestige, the struggle to survive, breeds a brand, an image of the city that ripples out to the rest of the world. Sinatra sang about proving himself to himself. "If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere." New York was the yardstick. New York has indeed bec.. | Shane Snow | ||
| 2efc991 | In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. --PRESIDENT DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER | Eric Bolling | ||
| dfe2f7a | When in doubt, the Founding Fathers preferred that our government do nothing. We're usually safest when it does. The scariest words someone can hear in their lifetime are: "We're with the government, and we are here to help you." If that ever happens to you, run the opposite way!" -- | Eric Bolling | ||
| 493616d | One of the ensnared, bribe-taking congressman Michael "Ozzie" Myers--a Pennsylvania Democrat and former longshoreman with a propensity for profanity and violence--memorably told one of the sting participants, "I'm gonna tell you something real simple and short: Money talks in this business and bullshit walks. And it works the same way down in Washington." With that, he took an envelope full of $50,000 in hundred-dollar bills and earned hims.. | Eric Bolling | ||
| 8837f55 | As Roosevelt said, observing the rising power of the bureaucratic elite, "A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car, but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad." | Eric Bolling | ||
| 8b59308 | MERIT noun mer*it \'mer-@t, 'me-r@t\ (1.) the quality of being good, important, or useful: value or worth --Merriam-Webster's definition (1.) a false, bigoted, and usually racist notion that some people are better at certain tasks than others; praising the few ahead of the needs of the collective --A Leftist's definition | Eric Bolling | ||

| 7ecc98a | The Podesta Group (founded by the brother of Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman) lobbied for Russia's largest bank, Sberbank, which is directly tied to the Kremlin, according to intelligence officials. Tony Podesta also received about $900,000 from a group that lobbied on behalf of Viktor Yanukovych, the ousted Putin-allied Ukrainian president. The Podesta Group also successfully lobbied their pal Hillary Clinton, while she was secretary o.. | Eric Bolling | ||
| 55ae7cc | capitalism is always in danger of inspiring men to be more concerned about making a living than making a life. We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the size of our automobiles, rather than by the quality of our service and relationship to humanity. | Clayborne Carson | ||
| 6a65ebe | We've come to a crazy place: groups that bemoan the slaughter of cows, but have no problem with the annual slaughter of human embryos or viable fetuses; clueless elitists who give their fortunes to their cats upon their deaths, instead of to charities that help orphans and veterans and, you know, human beings. | Eric Bolling | ||

| 1e16861 | Western civilization has moved inexorably away from the Dark Ages and in the general direction of modernity. A lot of good things happened over that time. Some of those good things have been the result of inventions and scientific advancements. Yet just as many have been the result of evolving thought about humans and how we should interact with one another. This movement led away from cruel fiefdoms and total subjugation beneath kings and .. | Eric Bolling | ||
| a5b0522 | AIDS is not a malediction, but the welcome and natural remedy to reduce the population of the planet," said the so-called environmentalist David Foreman, founder of a group called Earth First! "Should human beings disappear, I surely wouldn't mind." | Eric Bolling | ||

| 84c292a | The government should be run like a great American company. Our hope is that we can achieve successes and efficiencies for our customers, who are the citizens. | Eric Bolling | ||
| 7862a29 | AUTHOR'S NOTE The First Assassin is a work of fiction, and specifically a work of historical fiction--meaning that much of it is based on real people, places, and events. My goal never has been to tell a tale about what really happened but to tell what might have happened by blending known facts with my imagination. Characters such as Abraham Lincoln, Winfield Scott, and John Hay were, of course, actual people. When they speak on these page.. | John J. Miller | ||

| 98b2da3 | I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice;" | Clayborne Carson | ||
| c901600 | It has been my conviction ever since reading Rauschenbusch that any religion that professes concern for the souls of men and is not equally concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them, and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion only waiting for the day to be buried. It well has been said: "A religion that ends with the individual, ends." | Clayborne Carson | ||
| 205bb51 | Man is not made for the state; the state is made for man. To deprive man of freedom is to relegate him to the status of a thing, rather than elevate him to the status of a person. Man must never be treated as a means to the end of the state, but always as an end within himself. | Clayborne Carson | ||
| f3ff673 | We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered. | Clayborne Carson | ||

| e1c9bdb | I believe that before we can truly dialogue with one another we must first perceive intellectually, and then at the profoundest emotiomal level, that there is no Other - that the Other is simply Oneself in all the significant essentials. This alone is the key that can unlock the prison of culture. It will neutralize the poisons of the stereotype that allow men to go on benevolently justifying their abuses against humanity. | John Howard Griffin | ||

| 3872319 | It shows that the most obscene figures are not the ignorant ranting racists, but the legal minds who front for them, who "invent" for them the legislative proposals and the propaganda bulletins. They deliberately choose to foster distortions, always under the guise of patriotism, upon a people who have no means of checking the facts. Their appeals are of regional interest, showing complete contempt for privacy of conscience, and a willingne.. | John Howard Griffin | ||
| 9dfc835 | If we could only put ourselves in the shoes of others to see how we would react, then we might become aware of the injustice of discrimination and the tragic inhumanity of every kind of prejudice. | John Howard Griffin | ||
| 1315291 | How can you render the duties of justice to men when you're afraid they'll be so unaware of justice they may destroy you? ...especially since their attitude toward their own race is a destructive one. | civil-rights disunity race-issues violence | John Howard Griffin | |

| 9d0dbef | Newspapers play up as sensational every attempt by a Negro to rape a white woman. Yet this white rape of Negro women is apparently a different matter. But it is rape nonetheless, and practiced on a scale that dwarfs the Negro's defaults. The | John Howard Griffin | ||

A strange coincidence: for my project on roots, I was reading a staggering book from 1980 called Le Corps noir (The Black Body) by a Haitian writer named Jean-Claude Charles. He coined the term enracinerrance, a French neologism that fuses the idea of rootedness and wandering. He spent his life between Haiti, New York, and Paris, very comfortably rooted in his nomadism.

| f39464b | The great danger in the South comes precisely from the fact that the public is not informed. Newspapers shirk notoriously their editorial responsibilities and print what they think their readers want. They lean with the prevailing winds and employ every fallacy of logic in order to editorialize harmoniously with popular prejudices. | John Howard Griffin | ||
| d3beb3b | The real story is the universal one of men who destroy the souls and bodies of other men (and in the process destroy themselves) for reasons neither really understands. It is the story of the persecuted, the defrauded, the feared and detested. | hatred | John Howard Griffin | |
| cfd666e | It was the ghetto. I had seen them before from the high altitude of one who could look down and pity. Now I belonged here and the view was different. A first glance told it all. Here it was pennies and clutter and spittle on the curb... Here was the indefinable stink of despair. Here modesty was the luxury. People struggled for it... Here sensuality was escape, proof of manhood for people who could prove it no other way... Here hips drew th.. | despair poverty sadness | John Howard Griffin | |
