Michael Parenti quotes about
dirty people truth-is
The dirty truth is that many people find fascism to be not particularly horrible.
children dirty gun
One finds fortunes built on slave labor, indentured labor, prison labor, immigrant labor, female labor, child labor, and scab labor - backed by the lethal force of gun thugs and militia. 'Old money' is often little more than dirty money laundered by several generations of possession.
dirty poverty causes
The dirty truth is that the rich are the great cause of poverty.
lying dirty practice
Maintaining silence about a dirty truth is another way of lying, a common practice in high places.
believe dirty people
I believe that if we had and would keep our dirty, bloody, dollar-soaked fingers out of the business of these nations so full of depressed, exploited people, they will arrive at a solution of their own.... And if unfortunately their revolution must be of the violent type because the "haves" refuse to share with the "have-nots" by any peaceful method, at least what they get will be their own, and not the American style, which they don't want and above all don't want crammed down their throats by Americans.

recovery dedication political
Actually, the New Deal's central dedication was to business recovery rather than social reform.
independent thinking media
Editors and reporters are not as free and independent to invite a variety of opinions as they might think. They are free to say what they like only as long as their bosses like what they say. They are free to produce what they want if their product remains within acceptable political boundaries. You will have no sensation of a leash around your neck if you sit by the peg. It is only when your stray that you feel the restraining tug.
russia political juicy
Russia became a juicy chunk of the Third World, with immense reserves of cheap labor, a vast treasure of natural resources, and industrial assets to be sold off at giveaway prices.
media political television
To complain about how the media are dominated by liberals, Limbaugh has an hour a day on network television, an hour on cable, and a radio show syndicated by over 600 stations.
jury mechanism grand-jury
One mechanism of repression is the grand jury.
