{"quotes":[{"text":"The Left had to go searching for a new civil-rights struggle with which to cram conservatives back into their “victimizer” cubbyhole. The Left now pushes against civil rights in its ignorant search for the new struggle. There was, however, one problem: All the good civil-rights issues have been dealt with already. And so the Left, which focuses all of its efforts on social issues, was relegated to pushing crime-increasing myths about the evils of cops; the celebrities were forced to pretend that men peeing next to women was the next great Martin Luther King, Jr.–style struggle.","author":"Ben Shapiro","tags":["conservatism","left-wing","leftwing","politics","victimeattitude","victimpolitics"],"id":33393,"author_id":"Ben+Shapiro"},{"text":"If we shrug our shoulders at the avoidable suffering of the weak and the poor, of those who are getting exploited and ripped off, we are not the left.","author":"Peter Singer","tags":["economic-justice","ethics","fairness","left-wing","moral-philosophy","politics"],"id":34672,"author_id":"Peter+Singer"},{"text":"Think about the precedents you are setting. It's the Left that runs the world on reckless emotionalism. Don't join.","author":"Michelle Malkin","tags":["emotionalism","irrational","left-wing","liberalism","political","politics"],"id":59759,"author_id":"Michelle+Malkin"},{"text":"Extreme right-wingers are known for giving God a bad name; extreme left-wingers are known for giving God a weak name. He's not as simple as conservative versus liberal, old versus new. His wings are balanced. God is both and neither.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["apologetics","bad","balance","beliefs","biases","complexity","conservative","extremists","god","independence","left-wing","liberal","neutrality","new","old","opinions","politics","progressive","right-wing","simplicity","traditional","weak","wings"],"id":95593,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"The two goals of liberation and social justice are not obviously compatible, any more than were the liberty and equality advocated at the French Revolution. If liberation involves the liberation of individual potential, how do we stop the ambitious, the energetic, the intelligent, the good-looking and the strong from getting ahead, and what should we allow ourselves by way of constraining them?","author":"Roger Scruton","tags":["left-wing","politics"],"id":124204,"author_id":"Roger+Scruton"},{"text":"Typically, in politics, more than one horse is owned and managed by the same team in an election. There's always and extra candidate who will slightly mimic the views of their team's opposing horse, to cancel out that person by stealing their votes just so the main horse can win. Elections are puppet shows. Regardless of their rainbow coats and many smiles, the agenda is one and the same.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["agenda","agendas","candidate","corruption","costumes","democrat","elect","election","elections","horse","horses","left","left-wing","masks","nominations","nominees","opponents","political","political-philosophy","politicians","politics","politricks","presidential-elections","puppet","puppets","rainbow","rainbow-coat","republican","right","right-wing","smiles","steal-votes","stealing","vote","voters","votes","voting"],"id":175867,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"LEFTISTS EAT THEIR CHILDREN: The poets, artists, and radicals are murdered first once the 'revolution' actually comes about..","author":"A.E.

What we are seeing once again is a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others.

If you can act angry and offended, especially on a college campus, you can shut down the other side using a speech code.","author":"Mike Adams","tags":["debates","feminism","feminist","feminists","free-speech","freedom-of-speech","left-wing","truth"],"id":268693,"author_id":"Mike+Adams"},{"text":"If the surprise outcome of the recent UK referendum - on whether to leave or remain in the European Union - teaches us anything, it is that supposedly worthy displays of democracy in action can actually do more harm than good. Witness a nation now more divided; an intergenerational schism in the making; both a governing and opposition party torn to shreds from the inside; infinitely more complex issues raised than satisfactory solutions provided. It begs the question 'Was it really all worth it' ?","author":"Alex Morritt","tags":["antagonism","antagonistic","austerity","better-in","better-off","blame","blame-game","boris-johnson","break-up","breaking-free","breaking-rules","breaking-up","breakup","breakups","brexit","britain","british","british-history","british-people","brussels","budget-cuts","campaign-contributions","campaign-promises","campaigning","campaigns","capitalism","choices","choices-and-consequences","choices-based-on-faith","choices","choices-you-make","clash-of-civilizations","clashes","co-operate-leaders","co-operation","collaboration","collaborative","complexity","complexity-and-information","confrontation","confrontational","control","controlling","conviction","conviction","cooperation","crossroads","cultural-diversity","cultural-identity","currency","currency-trading","danger","dangerous-liaisons","dangerous-minds","dangerous-world","david-cameron","debate","debate","debates","deceit","deceit","decision-making","decision","decisions","decisions-in-life","democracy","democracy-criticism","democracy-gone-wrong","democracy-voting","deprivation","devolution","devolve","disaster","disaster","discord","disenchantment","disenfranchised","disengagement","division","divisions","divisions-in-society","divisiveness","divorce","economic-collapse","economic-crisis","economics-society","economy","education","educational","election-promises","election-results","elections","employment","employment-laws","empowering","empowerment","enemy-of-the-state","enemy","england","english","enmity","enmity","error","errors","eu","euro","euro-eurosceptic","european","european-civilization","european-economic-area","european-history","european-imperialism","european-union","europeans","euroscepticism","fascism","fascism-in-europe","fear","fear","friendship","generation-gap","generations","going-it-alone","growth","growth-ideology","harmful","historians","history-repeating-itself","hospitals","identity","identity-confusion","identity-crisis","identity-politics","immigration","inclusion","inclusive","inspirational","integration","introspection","introspective","introspective","irish","issues","jobs","jobseeking","judgement-day","judgement","leadership","leadership-contest","leadership","leadership-styles","left-behind","left-wing","lessons","lessons-for-man","lessons-learned","lessons-learned-in-life","lessons-learnt","lessons-of-life","lies","lies-politics","lies-we-tell-ourselves","life-challenges","life-changing","life-changing-events","life-changing","little-england","little-englander","mistakes","mistakes","national-identity","national-security","nationalism","neighbors","neighbours","new-dawn","new-day","northern-ireland","outcome","peace-making","peace-movement","peace-of-mind","peace","persuasion","persuasiveness","philosophy","political","political-commentary","political-parties","political-philosophy","political-quandary","political","politicians","politicians","politicians","politicians-tradegy","politics-observation","politics","poor-choices","poverty","poverty-alleviation","poverty-and-politics","poverty-inequality","poverty","power","power-of-thoughts","power-of-words","powerful","prosperity","prosperity","protect","protection","quotability","quotable","quotable","of-the-day","about-life","race","racism","racism-and-culture","racism","referendum","referendums","reform","reformers","regression","regret","regret","regrets-in-life","remain","remain","result","results","results","right-path","right-wing","right-wing-politics","rights","safeguard","safety","sceptical","scepticism","schools","schools-of-thought","scotland","scottish","security","self-harm","self-harmer","self-inflicted","self-inflicted-misery","self-inflicted-pain","separation","separation-and-union","separation-anxiety","separation-of-powers","separations","sovreign","sovreignty","squabble","squabbling","status-quo","stronger","stronger","surprise","surprises","take-back","take-back-control","tariffs","teacher","teaching","teachings","team-building","team-spirit","teamwork","terrorism","torn-apart","torn-from-the-inside-out","tory","tory-party","trying-times","uk","united-kingdom","unity","unity-of-all-people","unity","vote","vote-for-the-truth","vote-leave","vote-remain","voters","votes","wales","war-on-terror","warning","warning","warnings","wealth-creation","welsh","worth","worth-it","worthwhile","youthful-optimism"],"id":284925,"author_id":"Alex+Morritt"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":16,"pages":2,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
