American Quotes

An Associated Press report called the President’s antics ‘Bible-thumping politics.’ Clinton’s message was decidedly religious and partisan, as was Governor’s Cuomo’s remarks as he ‘also cited religious themes and maxims.’ Why didn’t the press, the ACLU, and People for the American Way cry foul? Picture Quote #1

Those who are anti-God and anti-Christian in America have infiltrated the highest levels of the educational establishment. They have a philosophical commitment to eliminating any vestige of biblical Christianity from American thought and life. They are well-positioned, well-funded and well-connected. They are a very small minority in America, yet their level of commitment is rarely matched among Christians Picture Quote #1

There is not one text reference to characteristic Protestant religious life in these books... The dominant theme is the denial of religion as an actual part of American life Picture Quote #1

Early American speeches, from Washington’s to Patrick Henry’s, have been detheologized in history textbooks. No one has called it censorship Picture Quote #1

The Boston bombing provided the opportunity for the government to turn what should have been a police investigation into a military-style occupation of an American city. This unprecedented move should frighten us as much or more than the attack itself Picture Quote #1

I am a colored woman or a Negro woman. Either one is OK. People dislike those words now. Today these use this term African American. It wouldn’t occur to me to use that. I prefer to think of myself as an American, that’s all! Picture Quote #1

I promise you: No American whose great-grandfather was born here is watching soccer. One can only hope that, in addition to learning English, these new Americans will drop their soccer fetish with time Picture Quote #1

Journalists become candidates for cardiac arrest when they see or hear an African American disagreeing with an African American. We would become inauthentic if we did not have disagreements with this president Picture Quote #1

It is clear that the American people are weary of war. However, Assad gassing his own people is an issue of our national security, regional stability and global security Picture Quote #1

We urgently need a debate about the best ways of supporting families in modern America, without blinders that prevent us from seeing the full extent of dependence and interdependence in American life. As long as we pretend that only poor or abnormal families need outside assistance, we will shortchange poor families, overcompensate rich ones, and fail to come up with effective policies for helping families in the middle Picture Quote #1

This book is the best treatment of the best American Marxist philosopher-and the best philosopher to emerge from American slums. Young Sidney Hook is essential reading for anyone interested in democratic theory and practice in America Picture Quote #1

Mention the name George W. Bush in mixed company, and you’re likely to spark a lot of debate and emotion - hot and cold, good and bad. Not a lot of neutral reaction. He was elected in the most controversial contest in American electoral history and governed during one of the most tumultuous decades Picture Quote #1

As president of the American Historical Association, I started a programme to make dissertations into e-books in 1999. Before I knew it, I was involved in other electronic projects. Harvard invited me to become director of the libraries in 2007 Picture Quote #1

In France, it’s always about life, normal life. We always stick with these realistic things. So when French people are dreaming about American movies, they go and see the thrillers, and Westerns, and science fiction, huge entertaining movies Picture Quote #1

And we are in a strange conundrum. You can kill an American citizen overseas. But according to this administration, if you capture him in the United States, they’ve got to be read their Miranda rights Picture Quote #1

North Koreans are irrational to some extent, but I don’t think they’re totally irrational. I think they watch American cable channels. I think they watch the European cable channels. I think they, their decision makers keep up more than we know. And I think they want us to think they’re a little crazy Picture Quote #1

We’ve had periods of meanness in American politics. Actually, the dawn of partisan division in America was basically in George Washington’s second term, when it was obvious that he would be the first and only consensus president Picture Quote #1

I find that it really helps that I live in the States. I’m married to an American, and I have lots of American friends Picture Quote #1

When it comes to cyber warfare, we have more to lose than any other nation on earth. The technical sector is the backbone of the American economy, and if we start engaging in these kind of behaviors, in these kind of attacks, we’re setting a standard, we’re creating a new international norm of behavior that says this is what nations do. This is what developed nations do Picture Quote #1

Most of our life is miscommunication, and when you add a language barrier to it, it just becomes total mayhem and confusion. It just adds to it with all of the cultural differences. It could be an American family meeting another American family and you could still have a total clash. With family, it’s like visiting another planet Picture Quote #1

I think the best singers in the world, historically, are American. Britain’s got its fair share, as well, but some of the greatest singers, ever, whether you’re talking about Whitney [Houston] or Mariah [Carey] or Aretha Franklin, are from the legacy here Picture Quote #1

Imagine an American Hans Christian Andersen, conceive of the Brothers Grimm living in Missouri, and you will approximate Howard Schwartz, a fable-maker and fable-gatherer seduced by the uncanny and the unearthly. In Lilith’s Cave, he once again reaches into a magical cornucopia of folklore and fantasy and spreads before us, in enchanting language, the marvels and shocks of dybbuks, ghosts, demons, spirits, and wizards Picture Quote #1

The only way to success in American public life lies in flattering and kowtowing to the mob Picture Quote #1

Where I stand at is on the Second Amendment where the right to bear arms is not just for hunting and fishing and things like that. But it’s the right of the American people to have a means of defense against a tyrannical government. So, sometimes you got to have that back-up plan Picture Quote #1

American Taliban John Walker Lindh has pleaded guilty to two counts of terrorism and will face twenty years in prison. I guess that means his jihad is on ji-hold Picture Quote #1
