Ordered by popularity

Can anyone imagine an American president saying words like these?

Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.

--Thomas Jefferson

The quality of our political leadership has fallen quite a bit since Jefferson was around.

As the Arabs See the Jews



Interesting essay. I wonder how different things would have been for the world if the US had taken in the survivors of the Holocaust?
