Liberal Democrats Quotes (page 2)
The courtroom is one instance of the fact that while our society may be liberal and democratic in some large and vague sense, its moving parts, its smaller chambers--its classrooms, its workplaces, its corporate boardrooms, its jails, its military barracks--are flagrantly undemocratic, dominated by one commanding person or a tiny elite of power.
Howard Zinn

We looked towards France, England and the U.S., to become progressive democratic republics.
Carlos Fuentes
You know, I think when you are unemployed, especially for a long time, it's hard to be inspired or hopeful almost about anything.

You know, when we are fighting and can't get anything done, whether you are liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, no one wins.
