Or, even if Christians are acting as God’s spokesmen, must Christians always conduct themselves politically as if Christianity were just another special-interest group? Do Christians conduct evangelism this way?  (Interest Groups Quotes) But this is the great danger America faces. That we will cease to be one nation and become instead a collection of interest groups: city against suburb, region against region, individual against individual. Each seeking to satisfy private wants  (Interest Groups Quotes) I’ve owned a business for 26 years. My family isn’t in politics and my supporters aren’t special interest groups in Madison and Milwaukee  (Interest Groups Quotes) My good friend Walter Mondale is a good lapdog. He’ll give them [special interest groups] everything they want. He’ll lick every hand  (Interest Groups Quotes) When you question a man’s motives, when you say they are acting out of greed, they are in the pocket of an interest group, et cetera. It’s awful hard to reach consensus. It’s awful hard to reach across the table and shake hands. No matter how bitterly you disagree, though, it is always possible if you question judgment and not motive  (Interest Groups Quotes) Every time I come across learning items of interest, I’ll send distribution voice mail to the appropriate group in the organization.  (Interest Groups Quotes) The venerable Robert E. Lee has taken some vicious hits, as dishonest or misinformed advocates among political interest groups and in academia attempt to twist yesterday’s America into a fantasy that might better service the political issues of today.  (Interest Groups Quotes) People think that politics just somehow magically organizes itself.

Was it a good idea to borrow all this money from countries like China and spend it on all these various different interest groups?  (Interest Groups Quotes) The method of rule of the tyrant and the oligarch is quite simply to clobber, coerce, or overawe all or most other groups in the interest of their own  (Interest Groups Quotes) Storytelling may be what most distinguishes social movements from interest groups  (Interest Groups Quotes) Politicians pay more attention to interest groups than to the public interest  (Interest Groups Quotes) Bad ideas flourish because they are in the interest of powerful groups  (Interest Groups Quotes) Stages of life are artifacts. Adolescence is a useful contrivance, midlife is a moving target, senior citizens are an interest group, and tweenhood is just plain made up  (Interest Groups Quotes) It was clear that the special interest groups in California really wanted the Chinese to be shut out of the country, because that was where the racial tension was the greatest  (Interest Groups Quotes) American cities are kind of difficult contexts to work in.
