The Bush administration’s current high-handed, aggressive push to grab land belonging to the public to drill for oil and natural gas is nothing new. Greedy, powerful rightwingers (rightwinger being basically synonymous with someone who has little or no interest in human rights) first started pulling those ruthless stunts back in the 18th and 19th centuries. The only difference is, back then, they seized land belonging to the Native Americans and could just shoot any resistors (they’d do that today, too, if they thought they could get away with it).

"Now if there is one thing that we do worse than any other nation, it is to try and manage somebody else’s affairs. We are liable to get a bad kick back from a lot of this high-handed stuff we are pulling. We are riding a high horse. Between our missionaries and our oil men, we are just about in wrong all over the world.”

"When you get into trouble 5,000 miles away from home, you’ve got to have been looking for it.”

“The Republican convention opened with a prayer. If the Lord can see his way clear to bless the Republican party the way it’s been carrying on, then the rest of us ought to get it without even asking for it.”
