Free Speech
Page 11
- These issues have crept up on us. Our rights are being infringed more and more on every side, and the danger is that we get used to it. So, I want to use the 25th anniversary [of the internet] for us all to do that, to take the web back into our own hands and define the web we want for the next 25 years.
- People call me a socialist sometimes. But, no, you gotta meet real socialists. You’ll have a sense of what a socialist is.
- On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks defied the codes of racial segregation, igniting a civil justice movement that continues today.
- As is tradition, this new year the mayor is dropping the ball in NYC, while Congress drops the ball in Washington.
- I think people loosely use the term ‘free speech.’ If the market wants to be such that people don’t want to watch someone, so be it.
- Constant conflict is actually often good politics, because the more you can inflame your supporters the more likely they are to show up at Election Day. And if they’re more inflamed than the other side, even if the other side has more people agreeing with it, you’ll win, because your crowd will show up.
- You can’t stop suffering, you can’t stop terrible things from happening, but you can bear witness… The least us reporters can do is go there and tell their stories.
- This is why I think the shutdown was so magnificent, run beautifully. I’m so proud of these Republicans….Obamacare is very unpopular. If you want to overturn it, America, vote for more Republicans. We need to take the Senate.
- That’s right. Obama didn’t lie to you when he said, ‘if you like your plan, you can keep it.’ Why? Because, you sillies, you DIDN’T REALLY like the plan you chose for yourselves! No arguing. Barack Obama knows best, and he’ll tell you whether you actually liked your insurance plan or not.
- There clearly are cases where evil people exist, but you don't have to violate the privacy of every single citizen of America to find them.
- Religion has the right to express its opinion in the service of the people, but God in creation has set us free: it is not possible to interfere spiritually in the life of a person.
- One faction of one party, in one house of Congress, in one branch of government, doesn't get to shut down the entire government just to refight the results of an election.
