We believe that Dwight Eisenhower was right when he said, "In all those things which deal with people, be liberal, be human. In all those things which deal with the people's money or their economy or their form of government, be conservative." We Like Ike! "Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are...a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid." ~President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 11/8/54 Justice, after all, is what love sounds like when it speaks in public. — Michael Eric Dyson Never lose your sense of outrage. There has to be in all of us a moral thermostat that flips when we are confronted by suffering, injustice, inequity, or callous behavior. — Paul Ylvisaker "Kaiser's a literate, witty, sometimes biting, sometimes ironic writer with an exterior of rumpled steel and the heart of a streetwise pussycat!"
