Political Quotes

“I attended the Million Mom March with my wife. I do not think anyone should misunderstand the significance and consequence of so many mothers and a number of fathers giving up Mother's Day to make an important point. These were not a bunch of wild radicals. These were a bunch of moms from rural areas, inner cities, and suburban areas. They were black, they were white, Hispanic, Asian American. They were basically making a plea. As I stood there and listened, I was reminded of a quote attributed to John Locke speaking about someone he heard. He said: He spoke words that wept and shed tears that spoke. I do not know how anyone could have attended any significant portion of that march and not felt, as John Locke felt, listening to the words these women spoke that wept and the tears they shed that spoke volumes about the insanity of our policy. Irony of all ironies; the next day, on Monday, the Supreme Court hands down a decision, not about guns but about the protection and empowerment of women in society.”
