WORDS MATTER


He [Richard Spencer] added that “We’ve all benefited from white privilege,” and “I want my children to have white privilege.”

The foundation of the United States’ unrivaled global leadership rests only in part on our military might, the strength of our economy and the power of our ideals. It is also grounded in the perception that the United States is steady, rational and fact-based. To lead effectively, the United States must maintain respect and trust. So, when a White House deliberately dissembles and serially contorts the facts, its actions pose a serious risk to America’s global leadership, among friends and adversaries alike.  --  Susan E. Rice -- national security adviser from 2013 to 2017 and U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations from 2009 to 2013


“I think our principle problem in society, with healthcare, is that as a society we haven’t decided yet, like every other industrialized country, that every citizen should have healthcare and that makes our society better.”  --  Wright Lassiter III, the president and CEO of Henry Ford Health System

"I’d like to point out that it is the height of irony that Republicans held this Supreme Court seat open for nearly a calendar year while President Obama was in office, but are now rushing to fill the seat for a president whose campaign is under investigation by the FBI." -- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer

Lies are often much more plausible, more appealing to reason, than reality, since the liar has the great advantage of knowing beforehand what the audience wishes or expects to hear.
