Butler More about this quote Tags: politics Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email

It will only reinforce and deepen the political divides in our country. But if we choose to actively seek out information that challenges our assumptions and beliefs, perhaps we can begin to understand where the people who disagree with us are coming from. —Reinhold Niebuhr More about this quote Tags: politics Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email

I'm in love with this country called "America." I'm a huge fan of America. I'm one of those annoying fans — you know, the ones that read the cd notes and follow you into bathrooms and ask you all kinds of annoying questions about why you didn't live up to that. I'm that kind of fan. I've read the Declaration of Independence, and I've read the Constitution of the United States, and they are some liner notes, dude. —Bono More about this quote Tags: politics love expectations America fandom Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
