“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”
Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
“The corporate Democrats who dominate the party’s power structure in Congress should fear losing their seats because they’re out of step with constituents. And Democratic voters should understand that if they want to change the party, the only path to do so is to change the people who represent them. Otherwise, the leverage of Wall Street and the military-industrial complex will continue to hold sway.”
Norman Solomon, The Democrats’ Fear
“In 1995 President Clinton signed a tax change law that effectively guaranteed that US wealth and income inequality would rise ad infinitum and that over time, the US stock market would effectively become the US economy. Seemed like a good idea at the time. This is one reason I can’t understand ‘progressive’ adulation of the Clintons. They did as much to screw American middle class as any Republican. Control the language, you control the dialog, you control the people.”
