Liberal Quotes from:
-
Bill Quotes
When Kennedy could not get the civil rights bill passed - and he was the big liberal - Lyndon Johnson came in and it got passed, and he was the conservative and the southerner. So sometimes in politics, to get something done, it takes a special kind of knowledge and a special kind of person, but it doesn't always follow the party lines.

Adapt Quotes
What we are seeing is that, in the specialized nature of information economy, a college degree is increasingly important for employers. What's interesting is that even liberal arts majors are finding significant opportunities, since those are the folks who are best at critical thinking skills. They can adapt to any number of professions.

Cancer Quotes
What the Liberal government has constantly said is that they have $300-million that they wish to put toward chronic disease and they put cancer in that category. Well, cancer is a killer, it's not chronic and it's very disturbing that the Health Minister and this government has not been able to make the distinction.

Academia Quotes
We want all students, white, black, middle-class, affluent, working class, international students, to think about why addressing these issues is important for the educational experience elite liberal arts colleges impart on all of their students.

Book Quotes
Book of Daniel perhaps failed because it showed an elite world of liberal religion with which most Americans cannot relate. Like much of the Episcopal hierarchy today, it was preoccupied more with the aberrant than with the enduring norms for human behavior. And like the declining Episcopal Church as a whole, it turned out to be a failure.

Applaud Quotes
Even though I am a well-recognized liberal on many issues confronting our society today, I find it ironic that many human rights advocates and outspoken members of my own entertainment community are often on the front lines to protest repression, for which I applaud them but they are usually the first ones to oppose any use of force to take care of these horrors that they catalogue repeatedly.

Classical Quotes
Even as I pursued a doctorate in the history of ideas in my native Denmark, I realized I had neither the encyclopedic training nor the passion for cool logic - not to mention the nerve - to follow in the footsteps of classical liberal philosophers and economists such as Robert Nozick, Friedrich Hayek, and Milton Friedman.

Biases Quotes
People generally don't know that they are developing a particular bias, ... and this study purports to disclose, perhaps, particular biases -- that is, whether liberal or conservative. Often, people simply don't know that they hold a particular viewpoint because those viewpoints are caught more than they are taught.

Ambassador Quotes
After his meeting today . . . Harper continues to work on the transition. He's in meetings every day now, figuring out who's going to be in his cabinet, planning policy initiatives, writing legislation to be introduced, and now thinking about who he will name as ambassador to Washington now that Frank McKenna -- a prospective Liberal leadership candidate -- has resigned.

Accompany Quotes
a problem for the liberal groups and senators who want to turn this into a spectacle. . . . When the media have other serious things to focus their attention on, they tend to spend less time and less ink on the tit-for-tat, he said/she said elements that frequently accompany a confirmation hearing.

Add Quotes
This building will probably extend the center of our campus a little farther north. There was a big shift with the liberal arts building because it's all classrooms and offices, so there's a lot more traffic in that part of our facility, and the library will only add to that traffic pattern.

Arabs Quotes
American Jews are schizophrenic. Our polls year after year after year show the very same thing: On the one hand, on the peace process options, a majority of American Jews support - let's call it the liberal option. At the very same time, a clear majority of American Jews in the next breath say the real goal of the Arabs is to destroy Israel.

Areas Quotes
As we end this week, we're campaigning in areas of the country that have been strong Liberal ridings, at least in the recent past, and I notice Mr. Martin is campaigning in Montreal, which was considered not too long ago the strongest set of Liberal ridings in the country. I think at this point that's an encouraging sign.
