  1. Frankly, #Dew should be disciplined and #shamed by his party for being a dehumanizing #opportunist - but here we are, watching him gain traction, hoovering support in a #OneBC flavored political era of contempt and toxic hatred.

  3. A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

    And then there are the unscrupulous for whom anything goes if it is within the letter of the law, or at least not too far outside; the numerous kind for whom legality and morality are synonyms. “The Fix” has become endemic in our political life.

    Adlai Stevenson II (1900–1965) American politician, diplomat, statesman
    Speech (1954-03-22), “The Educated Citizen,” Senior Class Banquet, Dillon Gymnasium, Princeton University

    Es wäre gut, wichtig und zielführend, diese Ministerin zu entlassen, damit nicht noch mehr Schaden in Deutschland angerichtet wird.

    Es ist doch wirklich unglaublich - vor allem, wenn man einmal das Video von Katherina Reiche in CDU TV vom 09.09.2009 gesehen hat.

    Frau Reiche, Sie sind aus vielen Gründen nicht mehr tragbar!

  26. A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

    I believe that the recent course of our history has demonstrated that, while we may utilize their expert knowledge of certain problems and the special facilities with which they are familiar, we cannot allow our economic life to be controlled by that small group of men whose chief outlook upon the social welfare is tinctured by the fact that they can make huge profits from the lending of money and the marketing of securities — an outlook which deserves the adjectives “selfish” and “opportunist.”

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
    Speech (1932-05-22), Commencement, Oglethorpe University, Atlanta, Georgia

  33. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

       It is not possible to lay down an inflexible rule as to when compromise is right and when wrong; when it is a sign of the highest statesmanship to temporize, and when it is merely a proof of weakness. Now and then one can stand uncompromisingly for a naked principle and force people up to it. This is always the attractive course; but in certain great crises it may be a very wrong course. Compromise, in the proper sense, merely means agreement; in the proper sense opportunism should merely mean doing the best possible with actual conditions as they exist.
       A compromise which results in a half-step toward evil is all wrong, just as the opportunist who saves himself for the moment by adopting a policy which is fraught with future disaster is all wrong; but no less wrong is the attitude of those who will not come to an agreement through which, or will not follow the course by which, it is alone possible to accomplish practical results for good.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
    Essay (1900-06), “Latitude and Longitude Among Reformers,” The Century Magazine, Vol. 60, No. 2

Merz legt auch "falsches #Zeugnis" ab (wiederholt, besonders gegen #Armutsbetroffene (u. a. falsche Zahlen; Q.: versch.)

    "Afgelopen augustus zei hij in een interview met het Nederlands Dagblad dat het "de bedoeling” was dat hij op deze plek zou komen. "Gods leiding zit in alles.”

    Meerdere mensen die NRC sprak hebben een andere verklaring. Of beter gezegd: nóg een verklaring, want ze geloven best dat Bruins zelf gelooft dat hij het kruis moet dragen om Nederland beter te maken. Maar ze zien ook zijn grote eergevoel, een stukje ijdelheid en misschien zelfs wat opportunisme."
