Quotes

  • “...These men and their party had overseen an unprecedented centralization of power in the federal government as a means of fighting and winning the Civil War. It is worth remembering, especially in America’s current political circumstances in the early 21st century, that these men of the first Republican Party vehemently believed in government.”
  • “A significant segment of American society hates the President [Barack Obama] and cannot seem to abide a black family living in the White House.”
