All political thinking for ordtak

en Some people are thinking he's this horrible person even though they don't know him. When you have a whole bunch of facts and take out a few things and put them in a certain order, they can make anything look true. But once the evidence is laid out, it's going to be obvious what happened. He didn't do anything but try to help someone in trouble.

en Wise men say, and not without reason, that whoever wished to foresee the future might consult the past.
  Niccolò Machiavelli

en Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.
  Marcus Aurelius Antonius

en [Defenders say she can easily navigate from past to future.] I would quote her husband who often said -- and it's absolutely a truism -- that people vote the future, not the past, ... Rhetorically she will invoke the halcyon days of the 1990s. The fact is she knows that people are concerned very much on the future and that she very much has to address that.

en People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone. The past is full of life, eager to irritate us, provoke and insult us, tempt us to destroy or repaint it. The only reason people want to be masters of the future is to change the past.
  Milan Kundera

en The firing of my assistant was nothing but a political pay back because I stated the facts and the law regarding the senior center initiative petition.

There has been an assistant to the clerk for the past 17 years, a lot longer than there has been an administrator or administrative assistant.

en We're lucky in Wyoming because so much of the trail is intact. We've seen just a huge increase in interest over the last 10 years. I think people are intrigued by the past. If you understand the past, it gives you some direction for the future.

en Students learn about the revolution that has occurred in the past few decades transforming society and permanently altering the status of men as well as women, ... They ask why, despite legal and social progress, women are still grossly under-represented in key leadership positions. They examine myths and facts so they can learn from the past to achieve more as individuals and leaders in their communities. They also examine the nature of social movements and the role of opportunity and risk takers.

en Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of the facts and evidence

en Anybody who looks at all these rallies has to be asking, 'What's the political impact? Some politicians are nervously wondering how many of these people voted in the past and how many will vote in the future.

en It is unfortunate that members of the Duke community, players and families are being judged before all the facts are in. A lot of innocent young people and the families are being hurt, and unfortunately this situation is being abused by people with separate agendas. It is grossly unfair, and cool heads must prevail.
