Disadvantages faced by indigenous peoples are related to dispossession and exacerbated by powerlessness and poverty. Roberto Mukaro Borrero	added by oirrc 4 years ago
Fast-tracked development often means that indigenous people and their territories get run over and their rights are not taken into consideration. Roberto Mukaro Borrero	added by oirrc 4 years ago
We need a seat at the table … If we’re not at the table, we’re probably on the menu. Roberto Mukaro Borrero	added by oirrc 4 years ago
...the bottom line is Columbus Day is just a celebration of genocide. Roberto Mukaro Borrero	added by oirrc 4 years ago
To remain silent is to be complicit in the face of the increasing injustice, racism, xenophobia, and intolerance we are currently witnessing today. Roberto Mukaro Borrero	added by oirrc 4 years ago
The tweet by the Washington Redskins rings hollow to me. If the team was really interested in standing in solidarity for racial justice, they would change their name from the dictionary-defined racial slur they continue to use. As an indigenous person, I feel their tweet comes off as tone-deaf, not woke. Violence comes in many forms, some more subtle than others. Indigenous Peoples are not your mascots. Roberto Mukaro Borrero	added by oirrc 4 years ago
The traditional homelands of the Taíno extend from the Caribbean islands to southern Florida. My family lineage is from Borikén (Puerto Rico) and I know that the loss of life people on the island suffered from Hurricane Maria was not simply the result of an extreme weather event. The casualties are also the result of the colonial legacy that includes racism and years of neglect. Roberto Mukaro Borrero	added by oirrc 4 years ago
God: You should always believe in God because he is real, but you should never trust him because he is pure evil. Ryan Pack	added by littleking 4 years ago
It is always improper to intentionally offend anyone; and if someone is offended by your actions or words, they are not necessarily right. RJ Intindola – (Gandolfo)	added by RJ Intindola 4 years ago
The United States was supposed to have a limited government because the founders knew government power attracts demagogues and despots as surely as horse manure attracts horseflies. Rick Gaber	added by Normando 4 years ago
... ours is a sick profession marked by incompetence, lack of training, misconduct and bad manners. Ineptness, bungling, malpractice, and bad ethics can be observed in court houses all over this country every day ... these incompetents have a seeming unawareness of the fundamental ethics of the profession. ... the harsh truth is that ... we may well be on our way to a society, overrun by hordes of lawyers, hungry as locusts, and brigades of judges in numbers never before contemplated. Justice Warren E. Burger	added by Normando 4 years ago
Where law ends, tyranny begins. Margaret Thatcher	added by Normando 4 years ago
...[O]ur sages in the great [constitutional] convention... intended our government should be a republic which differs more widely from a democracy than a democracy from a despotism. The rigours of a despotism often... oppress only a few, but it is the very essence and nature of a democracy, for a faction claiming to oppress a minority, and that minority the chief owners of the property and truest lovers of their country. Fisher Ames	added by Normando 4 years ago
Liberty has never lasted long in a democracy, nor has it ever ended in anything better than despotism. Fisher Ames	added by Normando 4 years ago
The fact of the matter is that, in waging a scorched earth, no-holds-barred war of ‘Resistance’ against this Administration, it is the Left that is engaged in the systematic shredding of norms and the undermining of the rule of law. This highlights a basic disadvantage that conservatives have always had in contesting the political issues of the day. It was adverted to by the old, curmudgeonly Federalist, Fisher Ames, in an essay during the early years of the Republic. William Barr	added by Normando 4 years ago
Conservatives and liberals are kindred spirits as far as government spending is concerned. ... Since government has no resources of its own, and since there’s no Tooth Fairy handing Congress the funds for the programs it enacts, we are forced to recognize that government spending is no less than the confiscation of one person’s property to give it to another to whom it does not belong -- in effect, legalized theft. Walter E. Williams	added by Normando 4 years ago
Liberalism is a moral manipulation that exaggerates inequity and unfairness in American life in order to justify overreaching public policies and programs. Liberalism undermines the spirit of self-help and individual responsibility. For liberals in academia, the fact that black college students earn lower grades and have a higher dropout rate than any group besides reservation Indians means that blacks remain stymied and victimized by white racism. Thus, their push for affirmative action and other race-based programs is to assuage their guilt and shame for America’s past by having people around with black skin color. The heck with the human being inside that skin. Walter E. Williams	added by Normando 4 years ago
What’s “just” has been debated for centuries, but let me offer you my definition of social justice: I keep what I earn and you keep what you earn. Do you disagree? Well then, tell me how much of what I earn “belongs” to you -- and why? Walter E. Williams	added by Normando 4 years ago
It should be your care, therefore, and mine, to elevate the minds of our children and exalt their courage; to accelerate and animate their industry and activity; to excite in them an habitual contempt of meanness, abhorrence of injustice and inhumanity, and an ambition to excel in every capacity, faculty, and virtue. If we suffer their minds to grovel and creep in infancy, they will grovel all their lives. John Adams	added by Normando 4 years ago
Liberty, according to my metaphysics, is an intellectual quality, an attribute that belongs not to fate nor chance. Neither possesses it, neither is capable of it. There is nothing moral or immoral in the idea of it. The definition of it is a self-determining power in an intellectual agent. It implies thought and choice and power; it can elect between objects, indifferent in point of morality, neither morally good nor morally evil. John Adams	added by Normando 4 years ago
Those who protect and defend evil are either weak and or evil themselves, either way it go's it's a tragic injustice. Ryan Pack	added by littleking 4 years ago
snowman, ya got your ears on son? 1510	added by 1510 4 years ago
We are only carried away by the skills of public speaking, but none of us cares about the skill of listening. Thus, learning has become a burden to many of us. Mwanandeke Kindembo	added by King_M 4 years ago
In the spiritual world, it's only the self-conscious individual that is considered the greatest and not the conqueror of the world. In reality, conquering temptation is the toughest task among them all. Mwanandeke Kindembo	added by King_M 4 years ago
