plans
I have no plans, and no plans to plan.
smart law jail
If you can manipulate news, a judge can manipulate the law. A smart lawyer can keep a killer out of jail, a smart accountant can keep a thief from paying taxes, a smart reporter could ruin your reputation- unfairly.
political poetry politics
You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.
eye men giving
Wes Clark is a man of whom you can ask a question, and he will look you directly in the eye, and give you the most truthful and complete answer you can imagine. You will know the absolute truth of the statement as well as the thought process behind the answer. You will have no doubt as to the intellect of the speaker and meaning of the answer to this question....So you can see, as a politician, he has a lot to learn.
long police muggers
The mugger who is arrested is back on the street before the police officer, but the person mugged may not be back on the street for a long time, if ever.
intelligent roles answers
In the end, I'm convinced we will all benefit if suspicion is replaced by discussion, innuendo by dialogue; if the emphasis in our debate turns from a search for talismanic criteria and neat but simplistic answers to an honest - more intelligent - attempt at describing the role religion has in our public affairs, and the limits placed on that role.
party thinking political
I think it's already apparent that a good part of this Nation understands - if only instinctively - that anything which seems to suggest that God favors a political party or the establishment of a state church, is wrong and dangerous.
reputation remember
I somehow got this reputation of diddling and dithering. I don't remember dithering at all.
cities white people
A shining city is perhaps all the president sees from the portico of the White House and the veranda of his ranch, where everyone seems to be doing well. But there's another part to the shining city. In this part of the city there are more poor than ever, more families in trouble, more and more people who need help but can't find it.
philosophy party people
The American people need no course in philosophy or political science or church history to know that God should not be made into a celestial party chairman.
self circles needs
The closed circle of materialism is clear to us now - aspirations become wants, wants become needs, and self-gratification becomes a bottomless pit.
religious community belief
The values derived from religious belief will not - and should not - be accepted as part of the public morality unless they are shared by the pluralistic community at large, by consensus.
desire disgusted disgusting
We are disgusted by the things that we desire, and we desire what disgusts us.
religious government people
Way down deep the American people are afraid of an entangling relationship between formal religions - or whole bodies of religious belief - and government.
