Neither liberal nor conservative politicians can resist the temptation to stand as mighty sequoias of rectitude amid the lowly underbrush of fundraising.

Political systems are run by self-selecting politicians. We don't draft people; it's not jury duty.

What is obnoxious about the motives of politicians - whatever those motives may be - is that politicians must announce their motives as visionary and grand.

Even the most left-wing politicians worship wealth creation - as the political-action-committee collection plate is passed.

the central conservative truth is that it is culture, not politics, that determines the success of a society. The central liberal truth is that politics can change a culture and save it from itself.

The "Left" should be the target of a class action lawsuit from Conservatives whose children have been influenced with Liberal values in Colleges, High Schools and other institutions operating under the guise of being "Neutral", "Non-Political" or "Non-Partisian. Many children have been alienated or estranged from thier families and their own culture.
