"This is not just an America in decline. This is an America in retreat -- accepting, ratifying and declaring its decline, and inviting rising powers to fill the vacuum." Charles Krathammer - The Fruits of Weakness, 2010

"I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one. . . .
But from what I see I am sure it bends toward justice."
Theodore Parker
"A democracy -- that is a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people."
Theodore Parker
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
