"The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country." -- Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
"...the battle we face is not simply a fight between Democrats and Republicans, but rather a political standoff between Washington and the rest of America." -- Joe Scarborough (from "The Last Best Hope")
