Many people in the world today are not starving because there is an inherent inability to produce food they are starving because they are caught in the middle of political fights and blockades that have been used as weapons.

Hunger is a political issue and there are several things politically that are keeping people hungry - not funding food stamps adequately not funding school lunches adequately. So there is a political solution to the problem of hunger.

It makes me so angry - there's enough food in the world but people are starving. It's all political.

I first got involved with ending world hunger and I got hip to the facts about it - what a huge problem it was and how it wasn't a matter of not having food or not knowing how to end it but it was a matter of creating the political will.

Large companies cannot finance political parties as their shareholders and employees have different political views.

In constant pursuit of money to finance campaigns the political system is simply unable to function. Its deliberative powers are paralyzed.

But having said that what's happening with campaign finance reform and our political culture is devastating.

How are fears born? They are born because of differences in tradition and history they are born because of differences in emotional political and national circumstances. Because of such differences people fear they cannot live together.

Authoritarian political ideologies have a vested interest in promoting fear a sense of the imminence of takeover by aliens and real diseases are useful material.

The results of political changes are hardly ever those which their friends hope or their foes fear.

I wanted to be a political science professor and go to school in Boston. I never wanted to be a big famous movie star and TV star. It kind of found me.

I never wanted to do biography just to tell the life of a famous man. I always wanted to use the life of a man to examine political power because democracy shapes our lives.

Most Evangelicals claim to be politically non-partisan and say they only identify with the Republican Party because the Republicans are committed to 'family values.'

In every song I write whether it's a love song or a political song or a song about family the one thing that I find is feeling lost and trying to find your way.

Nixon was the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life. He lied to his wife his family his friends his colleagues in the Congress lifetime members of his own political party the American people and the world.

I grew up in a family in which political issues were often discussed and debated intensely.

I am struck by the fact that personal faith and political agendas are intertwined more closely now than at any other time in recent history.

In times when religious or political faith or hope predominates the writer functions totally in unison with society and expresses society's feelings beliefs and hopes in perfect harmony.

I think church and state should remain entirely separate at all costs and that the decision of religious marriage should be of each faith to debate and decide free of political influence.

I think it's a good thing for a president or political leaders to want to put their values or their faith into action. Desmond Tutu did that in South Africa. Martin Luther King Jr. did that here. This is a good thing.

I am not here to parade my religious sentiments but I declare I have too much respect for the faith in which I was born to ever use it as the basis of a political organization.

The Constitution was the expression not only of a political faith but also of political fears. It was wrought both as the organ of the national interest and as the bulwark of certain individual and local rights.

Since the presidency of Ronald Reagan conservatives have succeeded by adhering to a platform that rests firmly on three legs: smaller government faith and family and a strong national defense. These three legs do not merely represent a political coalition they are three necessary components of a strong and secure America.

I love Canada. It's a wonderful political act of faith that exists atop a breathtakingly beautiful land.
