I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions.

Of the various forms of government which have prevailed in the world an hereditary monarchy seems to present the fairest scope for ridicule.

I work for a Government I despise for ends I think criminal.

Well again a gun sale database is just trying to get the Department of Justice to keep track of the guns that they're purchasing and supplying to drug dealers and murderers. I mean wow. Come on let's get the government under control before we start restricting the rights of - innocent citizens.

I have no doubt that the government of this great nation will work with its people to lead New Orleans and the Gulf Coast back to an enlightened proud safe part of the world.

A tiny and closed fraternity of privileged men elected by no one and enjoying a monopoly sanctioned and licensed by government.

Clinton's successor in the White House George W. Bush was committed to expanding government spending for faith-based initiatives.

Getting the government to put money into social programs run by religious institutions is a practice that started during the Clinton years when Bill Clinton advocated the AmeriCorps program.

After-school tutoring programs care for the elderly shelters for the homeless disaster relief work and a variety of other services would all benefit from government funding.

From the beginning there have been some religious leaders who greeted the funding of faith-based social services by government with ambivalence.

If marriage really is a sacred institution then why is the government controlling it especially in a nation that affirms separation of church and state?

President Bush once said that marriage is a sacred institution and should be reserved for the union of one man and one woman. If this is the case - and most Americans would agree with him on this - then I have to ask: Why is the government at all involved in marrying people?

But I think it's up to a local congregation to determine whether or not a marriage should be blessed of God. And it shouldn't be up to the government.

Where might is mixed with wit there is too good an accord in a government.

I am very much opposed to abortion personally. But I don't think it is the government's rule.

If it were not for the government we should have nothing to laugh at in France.

It is perfectly true that that government is best which governs least. It is equally true that that government is best which provides most.

Whatever government is not a government of laws is a despotism let it be called what it may.

It's the federal government's job to secure the border.

The truth is in California you can't build a new manufacturing facility and businesses are leaving in droves because of bad government policy.

We need more transparency and accountability in government so that people know how their money is being spent. That means putting budgets online putting legislation online.

But ours was intended to be a citizen government. It is what of by and for the people means. And when our most important issue in California is the creation of jobs I think it's quite helpful to have someone in the U.S. Senate or in the governor's seat who actually knows where jobs come from.

Well you know I - again even in the context of BP I wonder about this government's priorities. The federal government's top priority right now should be the cleanup. And BP certainly has done so many things wrong. They need to be held to account.

Whether Canada ends up as o-ne national government or two national governments or several national governments or some other kind of arrangement is quite frankly secondary in my opinion.
