The venerable Robert E. Lee has taken some vicious hits, as dishonest or misinformed advocates among political interest groups and in academia attempt to twist yesterday's America into a fantasy that might better service the political issues of today.

Jim Webb

Our talks in Paris tackled economic, democratic, security and political issues; we talked on means for combating terrorism, in addition to latest regional and international developments of mutual interest, especially those in region.

Me talking about political issues on a social platform was kind of an accident. It's something that's a part of my everyday - it's super central to who I am as a person.

Amandla Stenberg

It's true that it's within the realm of cultural politics that young people tend to work through political issues, which I think is good, although it's not going to solve the problems.

Angela Davis

Work Politics Good

But the issue of sexual harassment is not the end of it. There are other issues - political issues, gender issues - that people need to be educated about.

I think where political issues invade moral situations, spiritual leaders have to speak out.

Billy Graham

I have no political issues that I need to seek central authorities' advice on.

Carrie Lam

To begin with, I've always known that I was a little bit different. And, I have a lot of relatives who own farms. I grew up in the American South where political issues and issues of justice were at the forefront. What I do now is a combination of all these factors.

Cary Fowler

My great desire has been to remove from the political arena a question of this kind that is calculated to prevent us getting a verdict upon the important political issues that separate the two parties in this country.

Charles Tupper

Great Art Verdict

I would like to never ever think about any political issues.

Deborah Eisenberg

I like to reveal people with some of the niceties of social behavior stripped away and the moral, ethical, and political issues are revealed.

Edward Zwick

In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.

George Orwell

Politics Age Thing

There has been a strong tradition in this country that it is not the function of the military to educate the public on political issues.

J. William Fulbright

I know what it's like to lose your home. I know what it's like to be hungry. I know what it's like to lose a family member because of a lack of health care. So all of these things aren't just political issues for me. All of these things are personal to me.

Religion and morality are critical to how students think about politics and form opinions on political issues.

Jeanne Shaheen

I like that Ben & Jerry's is willing to speak out about social and political issues that aren't always safe - but are the right thing to do.

Jerry Greenfield

There has never been a time when I was not committed to, involved in, or caring of, the social and political issues of my world.

The venerable Robert E. Lee has taken some vicious hits, as dishonest or misinformed advocates among political interest groups and in academia attempt to twist yesterday's America into a fantasy that might better service the political issues of today.

Jim Webb

Basically, I'm motivated to write about sociopolitical issues as well as relationships. I think those themes have stayed with me throughout my life.

Jimmy Cliff

People can believe pretty much whatever they want to believe about moral and political issues, as long as some other people near them believe it, so you have to focus on indirect methods to change what people want to believe.

Jonathan Haidt

Change You Whatever

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

Joseph Stiglitz

Family Which Were

I have a very strong political outlook, and that is something I'd like to take more responsibility for in my life. I don't believe in utilising certain aspects of the power I have with celebrity to push that forward, but I would like to make some films that address some of those political issues.

Kiefer Sutherland

Because most journalists are secular, they can be gullible in looking to the religious right as arbiters of biblical interpretation, especially as it relates to hot-button cultural and political issues.

Kirsten Powers

Every once in a while an issue comes up where I have to make a statement. I can't totally avoid all political issues, but I try my best to minimize them. When I do make a statement, I try to be fairly neutral.

Linus Torvalds

One of the top political issues of the day is how to combat young people not being active anymore.

Lynn Davies

If you look at U.S. history through religious history, there is very much a motif that shows the importance religion has played in the U.S. We're a very religious country and it affects the way we look at various political issues.

Madeleine Albright

People on a spiritual path - personal growth, spiritual practice, recovery, yoga and so forth - are the last people who should be sitting out the social and political issues of our day.

Marianne Williamson

I'm very passionate about political issues, but I also think that listening to people who disagree is extremely important, and I try to build that into my teaching, sometimes by co-teaching with rightwing colleagues.

Martha Nussbaum

Most comics point out what everyone else is thinking but hadn't thought of verbalizing. I guess, in a way, that makes most comics seers. It just depends in what category - some choose to be the seers of relationships, some are seers of racial issues, and some are seers of political issues.

Maz Jobrani

I have a lot of stands on a lot of political issues. I'm very big on campaign finance reform. I still think most Americans aren't aware of how the dumping of big corporate dollars and private donor dollars has totally corrupted the political system and taken it away from them.

Morgan Fairchild

My sense of politics and justice was deeply shaped in adolescence by my involvement with the underground punk - rock scene, and though lots of social and political issues had come forth in my comics, it wasn't until my late 20s that I felt properly equipped to address certain issues of race, power, and violence in my work.

Nate Powell

You have not fully expressed your power as a voter until you have scientific literacy in topics that matter for future political issues.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

For me, geopolitical issues are becoming more important, because how can you understand economy if you don't understand geopolitics? People think economists just deal with spreadsheets and charts. That's a narrow-minded caricature.

Nouriel Roubini

Since the inauguration of Mr. Lee Myung-bak, I was very much disappointed with his politics and policies. Not only in economics, but also in many social and political issues, he made many mistakes.

Park Won-soon

Ezra Pound was a crackpot on social and political issues, but he knew what he was talking about in matters of the written language.

Pete Hamill

Many poets in Iran have learned to speak almost a secret language, where political issues are talked about in allegorical ways.

Reza Aslan

I am honored to serve on the Board of Visitors for Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. Being the first board member from Latin America, I hope to provide insight into the economical, social and political issues facing the region, and continue to grow and strengthen this prestigious institution.

Ricardo Salinas Pliego

As an adult, I've always found the stereotype that Jews are liberal a curious one; my parents' circle was predominantly conservative, not just on Israel but on most political issues. Most of all, they were intensely (and this is a word I remember repeating in my own angry adolescent dialogues with myself) tribal.

Rick Perlstein

Science fiction should not be dismissed as escapism. It is a profound vehicle for talking about social and political issues.

Robert J. Sawyer

Riots born out of political issues aren't the same as those born out of personal greed.

Ross Kemp

Definitely, there is a sense in my writing that people now know me in a personal way. And to an extent, that's true because I write about very personal things, and I use the personal often to contextualize some of these sociopolitical issues that we're dealing with. And to an extent, they're right. They know something about me.

Roxane Gay

So the same cultural and political issues that divided us in 1968 are still dividing us.

Russell Banks

There are beautiful songs people write about love and dancing. But it's political issues that should be addressed.

Sixto Rodriguez

When I defend our right to hunt and fish on public lands, rivers and streams. Or work for better schools. And more good paying jobs that can support a family. Those aren't political issues to me. They're personal.

Steve Bullock

A public role endures for the literary high-command, as sages and seers, speaking out on social and political issues.

Tibor Fischer

A strong case can be made for religious leaders to speak out on political issues.
