Chris Butts - Political Peanut Gallery Rogue & Siren -- Suffering silent madness from a surfeit of insight and introspection
-- Pres. Teddy Roosevelt (REPUBLICAN ARISTOCRAT) said it best - "The man of means and the great corporation, SHALL pay their full share of taxes and bear their full share of the public burdens." <chrisb -from which they benefit>
-- F.D.R. "I still believe in ideals. I am not for a return to that definition of Liberty under which for many years a free people were being gradually regimented into the service of the privileged few. I prefer and I am sure you prefer that broader definition of Liberty under which we are moving forward to greater freedom, to greater security for the average (hu)man than (they)he has ever known before in the history of America."
-- Twain "..the deriding of shams, the exposure of pretentious falsities, the laughing of stupid superstitions out of existence; and that whoso is by instinct engaged in this sort of warfare is the natural enemy of royalties, nobilities, privileges and all kindred of swindles[secular&Religious]- and is the natural friend of human rights and human liberties."
--- Pres. Teddy Roosevelt -<It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.> ** The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat. – Paris, April 23, 1910
