Citizens United	Citizenship Ministe…

A capitalist regime is more likely to produce these narcissistic behaviours in its citizens compared to a socialist country. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
Almost as soon as Carolyn [Christov-Bakargiev] showed me these images of this atelier, I immediately understood that also, as a city, it was these Armenian fingers and hands that were creating these motifs on the building that were bearing silent witness to the trauma in the past 100 years. And it was almost like this architectural seance, where these citizens that were forcibly forgotten, were able to come back in. – Michael RakowitzRate it:
Any country that cannot provide for the proper healthcare of its citizens should never consider itself worthy of them dying for it in battle. For in a war- no one wins! both sides end up with casualties in body bags with mass graves and maybe- no memorials! I am ras cardo who created reggae. You can quote me on that-accurately. Its all true. – RAS CARDO REGGAERate it:
As citizens of this democracy, you are the rulers and the ruled, the law-givers and the law-abiding, the beginning and the end. – Adlai Ewing StevensonRate it:
As citizens we have to be more thoughtful and more educated and more informed. I turn on the TV and I see these grown people screaming at each other, and I think, well, if we don't get our civility back, we're in trouble. – Emmylou HarrisRate it:
As the Founding Fathers knew well, a government that does not trust its honest, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens with the means of self-defense is not itself worthy of trust. Laws disarming honest citizens proclaim that the government is the master, not the servant of the people... The Bill of Rights does not grant rights to the people, such that its repeal would legitimately confer upon government the powers otherwise proscribed. The Bill of Rights is the list of the fundamental, inalienable rights, endowed in man by his Creator, that define what it means to be a free and independent people, the rights which must exist to ensure that government governs only with the consent of the people. – Jeffrey R. SnyderRate it:
Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote. – George Jean NathanRate it:
Christians need to understand that this is the state of Christianity in the United States, we are now second-class citizens. Our free speech is being censored. – Bill JackRate it:
In order to have greater visibility of the larger cyber threat landscape, we must remove the government bureaucratic stovepipes that inhibit our abilities to effectively defend America while ensuring citizens' privacy and civil liberties are also protected – Michael McCaulRate it:
It can be well seen that we are all the citizens of the universe. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
It is undesirable that all citizens become soldiers and engage in physical combat. We need philosophers or great thinkers to revolutionize the mentalities of the youth in order to properly serve the state. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:

Let this be my perpetual memorial day quote for the usa.-any country that cannot provide for the proper healthcare of its citizens should never consider itself worthy of them dying for it in battle. For in a war, no one wins! both sides end up with casualties in body bags and mass graves, and maybe no memorials I am ras cardo who created reggae. You can quote me on that, but do it exactly as written. – RAS CARDO REGGAERate it:
Maricopa County’s the beauty of this posse, when citizens feel the need for extra protection that does n’t come at a high cost to taxpayers, the armed posse can always be counted on. – Sheriff Joe ArpaioRate it:
Now the country (Maldives) is witnessing a state of Emergency and former President and Supreme Court Judge were arrested, India should act fast for its citizens including tourists and expatriates (health care professionals and educators) stranded in that volatile quagmire.' Having said that, India is not in a position to carry out an Operation Cactus (Nov. 1988) type intervention as those times were different. Now bigger players are involved in Maldives affairs (read China) and India should be more cautious in its approach. We are not expecting to make another Nepal in Maldives, as far as our neighbourhood diplomatic ties are concern. ONE INDIA, February 6, 2018 https://www.oneindia.com/india/maldives-crisis-can-india-undertake-another-operation-cactus-2635789.html – Animesh RoulRate it:
Prohibition was introduced as a fraud; it has been nursed as a fraud. It is wrapped in the livery of Heaven, but it comes to serve the devil. It comes to regulate by law our appetites and our daily lives. It comes to tear down liberty and build up fanaticism, hypocrisy, and intolerance. It comes to confiscate by legislative decree the property of many of our fellow citizens. It comes to send spies, detectives, and informers into our homes; to have us arrested and carried before courts and condemned to fines and imprisonments. It comes to dissipate the sunlight of happiness, peace, and prosperity in which we are now living and to fill our land with alienations, estrangements, and bitterness. It comes to bring us evil - only evil - and that continually. Let us rise in our might as one and overwhelm it with such indignation that we shall never hear of it again as long as grass grows and water runs. – Roger Quarles MillsRate it:
Separating religion from the state means that citizens will be able to celebrate their freedom in peace and the martyrs who died fighting for the soil. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
The death-knell of the republic had rung as soon as the active power became lodged in the hands of those who sought, not to do justice to all citizens, rich and poor alike, but to stand for one special class and for its interests as opposed to the interests of others. – Theodore RooseveltRate it:
The prayer of the true soldier is not to die peacefully, but to leave the country and its citizens with peace of mind. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
The pursuit of happiness" is an American myth. The ideologies and governments of this century that promised happiness, have left people with more material possessions, but less psychological well-being. Many of the citizens are emotionally bankrupt and unhappy. The demands of life in our current socioeconomic system require that we keep running and running with little or no breaks....Like their parents, most of the young professionals will drift through life racing for the "American Dream", going through very expensive trial-and-error lessons and struggling to achieve happiness and fulfillment. – Med JonesRate it:
The refraining of freedom of speech from the governmental system can cause its citizens to turn into narcissists in their free time. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
The teaching of politics is that the Government, which was set for protection and comfort of all good citizens, becomes the principal obstruction and nuisance with which we have to contend… The cheat and bully and malefactor we meet everywhere is the Government. – Ralph Waldo Emerson, …Journal, 1860Rate it:
To admit foreigners indiscriminately to the rights of citizens the moment they put foot in our country would be nothing less than to admit the Grecian horse into the citadel of our liberty and sovereignty. – Alexander HamiltonRate it:
What a country calls its vital economic interests are not the things which enable its citizens to live, but the things which enable it to make war. Petrol is much more likely than wheat to be a cause of international conflict. – Simone Weil, The Need for Roots (1949)Rate it:
