More From Christopher Lasch

Just as uncle tom, back during slavery used to keep the negroes from resisting the bloodhound or resisting the ku klux klan by teaching them to love their enemies or pray for those who use them despitefully, today martin luther king is just a twentieth-century or modern uncle tom or religious uncle tom, who is doing the same thing today to keep negroes defenseless in the face of attack that uncle tom did on the plantation to keep those negroes defenseless in the face of the attack of the klan in that day.

I came in on this movie after there had been a director and i came in after tom courtenay had talked to ron harwood about making a movie. so, you know tom and albert finney had been friends since the beginning of their career as they became stars around the same time - tom always reminds me that albert was first with saturday night and sunday morning and then tom with the long distance runner.

We younger negro artists who create now intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame. if white people are pleased, we are glad. if they are not, it doesn't matter. we know we are beautiful. and ugly too. the tom-tom cries and the tom-tom laughs. if colored people are pleased, we are glad. if they are not, it doesn't matter either. we build our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how, and we stand on top of the mountain, free within ourselves.

Stephen miller did one thing: he simply recited common sense. this is a common sense immigration bill. if there was ever a piece of common sense legislation, this is it. in this case, what stephen miller did was nothing more than common sense, and yet it was interpreted - it went right over their heads, the white house press corps, not just jim acosta and glenn thrush. it went over all of their heads because they didn't understand what he was talking about, either because of the fog of hatred they have for donald trump and his administration, or they are just ignorant.
Common Sense House Hatred
I consider paine our greatest political thinker. as we have not advanced, and perhaps never shall advance, beyond the declaration and constitution, so paine has had no successors who extended his principles.

It's as if we think the laws of physics are subject to debate and amendment and political contributions can sway the laws of physics.

Two truths are all too often overshadowed in today's political discourse: public service is a most honorable pursuit, and so is bipartisanship.
