Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving the citizen as much freedom of action and of being as comports with order and the rights of others, the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner.
The French Revolution will be found to have had great influence on the strength of parties, and on the subsequent political transactions of the United States.
The French Revolution actualised the Enlightenment's greatest intellectual breakthrough: detaching the political from the theocratic.
Donald Trump doesn't speak like a politician, and that's made some people uncomfortable. In a world of political correctness run amok, his straight talk has been a breath of fresh air.
Donald Trump is a breath of fresh air in the nation where the political establishment from both parties has betrayed their constituencies time and time again.
I'm trying to make the case to voters across the political spectrum that someone who brings a younger perspective - a fresher perspective... can change the culture in Washington more effectively than someone who has run for office 9 or 10 times.
American fundamentalist thought connected strongly to reactionary political ideology as nervous Christians pushed back against liberal reforms on many fronts.
Over the years the political establishment has frowned if a mainstream politician mentions marriage.
The idea that somewhere in the desert far away you have a CO2 absorber that's removing the CO2 from the air is an attractive one. It's a costly process that many will say is too expensive, but so are fuel cells in cars. It's a matter of political will to move this forward.

Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).
Major political parties have a role, but they are incapable of initiating fundamental change because they are fundamentally tied to the status quo. They are the status quo.
It is simply the truth that the political system that I am part of has degenerated to the point that it needs fundamental change.
You may agree or not with Gaddafi's political ideas, but no one has the right to question the existence of Libya as an independent state and member of the United Nations.
Really, when it comes to gay rights, there's two wars going on. The first war is political. But the culture war is over.
This is Romney's biggest political weakness. His policy flip-flops and the general sense that he's not comfortable in his own skin leads voters, including many supporters, wondering about his core values.
The Constitution authorizes Congress to tax Americans to provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare. But in Washington, the professional political class has hijacked that authority to rig up a tax code that provides for the well-being of Washington, not the country.
As a generalization, fantasy writing has leaned more on political storytelling the more it's tried to escape the inevitable influence of Middle-earth, and revise the Eurocentric and Christian tropes that Tolkien's particular worldview bequeathed.
I read all the time so it's difficult to say who my all-time favourites are. One is George Orwell, because he makes political writing so simple a child could understand it.
