Political Extremism Quotes

Political extremism involves two prime ingredients: an excessively simple diagnosis of the world's ills, and a conviction that there are identifiable villains back of it all. John W. Gardner
Dwight D. Eisenhower quote: "Extremes to the right and to the left of any political dispute..."
Extremes to the right and to the left of any political dispute are always wrong. Dwight D. Eisenhower
Extremely strong, effective, tenacious, and powerful political networks can be built when you fight losing battles as well as when you win. Patricia Ireland
Living for Sabina meant seeing. Seeing is limited by two borders: strong light, which blinds, and total darkness. Perhaps that was what motivated Sabina's distaste for all extremism. Extremes mean borders beyond which life ends, and a passion for extremism, in art and in politics, is a veiled longing for death. Milan Kundera
But reflecting persons perceived that when society is itself the tyrant—society collectively, over the separate individuals who compose it—its means of tyrannizing are not restricted to the acts which it may do by the hands of its political functionaries.

Christopher Hitchens
I think most of America is seeing the strings behind the campaign, and sees the crass political maneuvers that people are making. I mean, they're extremely apparent to me. Danny Strong
Claire McCaskill quote: "The political system loves the extremes, it doesn't so much..."
The political system loves the extremes, it doesn't so much show a lot love for the moderates. Claire McCaskill
When applied to politics and taken to its extreme, kitsch is the mask of death. Fascism was all aesthetics. There was no core principle to it. There was no truth to it. John Cusack
Green politics at its worst amounts to a sort of Zen fascism; less extreme, it denounces growth and seeks to stop the world so that we can all get off. Chris Patten
The enemy is not just terrorism. It is the threat posed specifically by Islamist terrorism, by Bin Ladin and others who draw on a long tradition of extreme intolerance within a minority strain of Islam that does not distinguish politics from religion, and distorts both. John Cornyn
It is the belief that extremes and excesses of inequality must be reduced so that each person is free to fully develop his or her full potential. This is why we take precious time out of our lives and give it to politics. Paul Wellstone
Roy Hattersley quote: "In politics, being ridiculous is more damaging than being..."
In politics, being ridiculous is more damaging than being extreme. Roy Hattersley
Positive rights are the right to shelter, the right to education, the right to health care, the right to a living wage. These things are - these are, I would call them, more properly, political rights rather than positive rights. And they are extremely tricky, because now we are dealing with things that are zero sum. P. J. O'Rourke
