fighting circles revolution
It's not uncommon for revolutions to stem from a radicalized group just outside the circle of power. That's what the French Revolution was all about; that's what the American Revolution was. The question is: Will all those groups, because of the nature of partisan polarization and ideological polarization, just fight each other? Or is there capacity to organize?
country good-life real
I don't think polarization is some kind of grand distraction. It's real. People have different commitments, believe in different things and principles, different visions of the good life ... but there is also a degree to which all the really big, successful reform movements in the country had extremely bizarre ideological coalitions.
christian religious clever
The [Hillary] Clinton campaign posted a pretty clever online quiz that makes a similar point with the Republican presidential field. Who said it? Donald Trump or not Donald Trump? For example, quote, "I mean you can prove you are a Christian. You can`t prove it, then you err on the side of caution." That was not Donald Trump. It was this guy, who strongly denounced Trump`s proposed Muslim ban but supports a religious test for refugees.
government benefits republican
There is no evidence that government under Republicans will shrink. It`s simply a question of what the government will do and who will benefit.
country people political
If someone were to say, we should not letting Jews into the country, and people had a reaction against that, would that be the same thing as that kind of toxic political correctness tamping down honest discussion?
iowa would-be trump
Ted Cruz who`s been gaining on [Donald] Trump in Iowa and is polling ahead of him in the latest Monmouth poll would be quite reluctant to criticize Trump`s plan saying simply it is not his policy.
winning monkeys persons
The person that always wins, that`s the other thing. The monkey picking stocks always wins.
powerful war usa
Because we [the USA] are so powerful, our failures resonate more. In some ways, the worst victims of our institutional and elite failures, through the ripple effect of financial crisis and war, aren't Americans.
country faster easier
Obviously it's easier to grow faster when you are a less developed country than when you are where the U.S. is.
mean hierarchy natural
Inequality and hierarchy are natural, but that doesn't mean they are right, that doesn't mean there is isn't a productive tension between those forces and the forces of equality.
opportunity people outcomes
Meritocracy is our social ideal, particularly among good liberals. Equality of opportunity, but not of outcome. Not evaluating people by their [outside] features, but by their innate talent and drive.
jobs class people
We don`t have a manufacturing base. We don`t have a middle-class jobs growing at all. All we have is a few rich people and a service industry to service them.
new-york real love-life
I also love lifestyles of the rich and famous and guess what? It`s not unusual for me to sit in bed with my laptop and glass of wine, clicking through real estate slide shows on the New York Times website; looking at ungodly expensive homes I could not ever possibly afford.
black arguing scientist
We were arguing about what was good to deal with making education fairer, diverse and more American. We were not arguing about where black scientists get a good education.
