I can't understand why the Democratic parties seem so hostile to economic growth and business.

I think in politics in Congress you often do things that are Republican or you do things because you're a Democrat. Sometimes that's good obviously and sometimes that's obviously bad. But in the news business there's no such thing as Republican or Democratic news. News is news.

Few businessmen are capable of being in politics they don't understand the democratic process they have neither the tolerance or the depth it takes. Democracy isn't a business.

If we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday at a time of presidential inaugurals this is thanks to Ronald Reagan who created the holiday and not to the Democratic Congress of the Carter years which rejected it.

Jazz is a very democratic musical form. It comes out of a communal experience. We take our respective instruments and collectively create a thing of beauty.

It is only with burning anger that we can speak of this attack by counter-revolutionary reactionary elements against the capital of our country against our people's democratic order and the power of the working class.

The class distinctions proper to a democratic society are not those of rank or money still less as is apt to happen when these are abandoned of race but of age.
