Insight: “If liberty is worth keeping and free representative government worth saving, we must stand for all American fundamentals — not some, but all. All are woven into the great fabric of our national well-being. We cannot hold fast to some only, and abandon others that, for the moment, we find inconvenient. If one American fundamental is prostrated, others in the end will surely fall.” —Albert J. Beveridge (1862-1927)

They want to shut you up: “YouTube just deleted my 16-month-old interview on the [Candace Owens] show for ‘hate speech,’ presumably because I mention in our conversation that men are not women. Just imagine what Big Tech is getting ready to do if Joe Biden is named president.” —Michael Knowles

Non compos mentis: “Climate action is tied to reproductive justice.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Braying jackass: “It’s amazing to see the patience the GOP has for other people’s suffering.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Dezinformatsiya: “We have a battle right now against an unseen enemy, and one side has no interest in fighting it for completely partisan reasons. I mean, that is a cravenness — the inability, the inaction, the dismissal of COVID-19 as a deadly virus tells you the ends to which the Republican Party and Donald Trump will go to preserve partisan worldview.” —MSNCB’s Alex Wagner

The BIG Lie: “This is an administration whose fundamental incompetence has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and the most significant weakening of institutions that, however flawed, have produced, by and large, a more perfect union.” —Jon Meacham

Grand delusions: “The voters of Georgia have one more shot to get this right by sending these Democrats to the Senate.” —Jon Meacham

And last… “You do not need permission from the government to celebrate a holiday. This is America. We are Americans. That’s really the only argument we should need to make.” —Matt Walsh
