SCOTUS Assoc. Justice Antonin Scalia in same-sex marriage dissenting opinion --- Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. --- Israel’s Prime Minister [Benjamin Netanyahu] is well-placed to explain to the U.S. Congress the alleged danger of a nuclear Iran. After all, it was Israel and its allies in Washington who fabricated this issue to begin with. --- There are millions of Christians in America’s churches that couldn’t tell you what’s in the Bible to save their lives. They couldn’t quote the Ten Commandments; they couldn’t quote the Golden Rule; they couldn’t name Christ’s apostles; they couldn’t quote five verses of Scripture from memory if their lives depended on it. Chuck Baldwin, pastor --- In all ages the people of the world, equally with individuals, have accepted words for deeds, for THEY ARE CONTENT WITH A SHOW and rarely pause to note, in the public arena, whether promises are followed by performance. The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion No. 5 --- Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just. —Shakespeare, British playwright --- MIT economist Jonathan Gruber’s factually impoverished testimony on Obamacare [before the House] didn’t get nearly the attention it should have, as congressional Democrats cleverly decided to release a report on CIA torture abuses on the same day. --- [Obamacare] was written in a tortured way to make sure that the CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. Jonathan Gruber (leading Obamacare architect) --- If lawmakers claim that ignorance of the law is no excuse, then how do they explain their ignorance of the laws they vote for? --- Before the [Civil] war it was always the United States "are," after the war it was the United States "is"... it made us an is. Shelby Foote, Civil War Historian ---

Why Leaders Lie: The Truth about Lying in International Politics
Submitted by Guest on Fri, 03/13/2015 - 02:15
April 7, 2011 University of Chicago introduction: John Mearsheimer, professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, provides the first systematic analysis of lying as a tool of statecraft. He identifies the varieties, the reasons, and the potential costs and benefits, arguing that leaders often lie for good strategic reasons, while distinguishing between lying to another state and lying to one's own people. John Mearsheimer is also the co-director of the Program on International Security Policy at the University of Chicago and has written extensively about security issues and international politics. The World Beyond the Headlines is a project of the Center for International Studies, which brings scholars, journalists, and world leaders to the University to discuss issues of current global importance.
