This conjunction of an immense military establishment and arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence, economic, political, even spiritual, is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every government office. We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought by the military-industrial complex. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.
The worst news of the night is that... three of four people say they'd rather watch TV than have sex with their spouse. The second worst news is that some kids needed money for crack last night, so they stuck a knife in the throat of an 80-year-old grandmother... down on Euclid Avenue right here in Dallas. One night in one American city. Multiply that by hundreds of cities and what have you got? A country where culture means pornography and slasher films; where ethics means payoffs, graft, insider trading; where integrity means lying, whoring and intoxication. This country is in deep trouble, people. This country is rotten to the core and somebody better do something about it.
An article in "Time" magazine stated "the ordinary unreasoning jap is ignorant. Perhaps he is human. Nothing indicates it."
This racism prevailed when president roosevelt in February 1942 signed an executive order calling for the evacuation of over 110,000 Japanese and japanese-americans from california oregon and washington on the grounds that they "represented a threat to national security." 70% of them were american citizens.
Right, well, the president of the United States is fucking lying!
The only way to secure the peace, Senator, as I'm sure you know, is to be prepared. See, we can parachute these robot guys behind enemy lines. They hide out till the first strike blows over, then each one of these little boogers carries a 25-megaton bomb right up the middle of main street Moscow, like the mailman bringing bad news. We call it "Operation Got You Last."
America you don're really want to go to war.
America it's them bad Russians.
Them Russians them Russians and them Chinamen. And them Russians.
The Russia wants to eat us alive. The Russia's power mad. She wants to take
our cars from out our garages.
Her wants to grab Chicago. Her needs a Red Reader's Digest. her wants our
auto plants in Siberia. Him big bureaucracy running our fillingstations.
That no good. Ugh. Him makes Indians learn read. Him need big black niggers.
Hah. Her make us all work sixteen hours a day. Help.
America this is quite serious.
America this is the impression I get from looking in the television set.
America is this correct?
I'd better get right down to the job.
It's true I don't want to join the Army or turn lathes in precision parts
factories, I'm nearsighted and psychopathic anyway.
America I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel.
...we cannot preclude the possibility that we are living through a political disruption that will in time bear comparison with the collapse of Communism a generation ago.
