Not Enough Independence Quotes

“This is how we are being governed right now, people.
Six conservative justices.
They're just doing what they want.

And what they want is retrogression,
maintenance of the status quo--
not even the current status quo,
but that
from a hundred years ago...

Liberty for me, say the privileged white men in charge,
because they can.
And, to keep everyone in their pre-Reconstruction pre-women's-rights place:
Law and order for you.

Liberty for me.
Law and order for you.”

Small government for gun ownership,
what husbands do to their families inside the home,
and rich people's taxes.
Large government for the rights of everyone else
to breathe, to work, to love, to grow,
to read, to pray or not in their own way,
to think.
