Political Quotes

“in our Nation we take for granted the ability to speak freely and express what we please with no governmental interference. There are a number of celebrated legal cases that delineate the standard of time and manner regulation of speech in America and other select limitations. Moreover, here in America we don't believe that expression is allowed for one group and not for comparable organizations. Such designated permission is paramount to censorship of the party denied their speech. In this regard, I voice my concern today about an incident that has been reported about an incident that occurred at the Olympic Games in Atlanta during a table tennis championship between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China. During the game, two Taiwanese students waving the national flags of Taiwan were arrested under the premise that they could not wave large flags, yet all around them large flags from other countries were in fact being waved by a multitude of those present at the event. Mr. President, to understand the deep significance of this event is to know that the contentions over flags and other items of national emblems and insignia is one of the issues that has long obstructed an amiable relationship between the People's Republic of China and Taiwan.”
