Evil Dresses in Grey

"It's a slow creep. That's how military rule happens. Our minds drip to haze. History forgets to teach, for example, a Nazi was a person. A Mom. A Dad. A Grandmother. A Grandfather. Millions of them. All started with hearts and heads like our own. How did their hate get so bad? Not overnight. No. Small manipulations. Little fears planted on the street."

"Propaganda isn't propaganda if it's called News. Called talk. Called media. Called radio."

"Maybe. Might be. You never know."

"That's how Evil sounds. Evil is not Black and White. Evil is Grey. No color. No, Yes. No, Good. No, Bad. Grey. In the middle. On edge and in the middle. Terrorized. Mothers and fathers don't wake up in the morning and say, "Let's commit genocide. It's the thing to do."

"You are a mother, or father, son, or daughter. What gets us to Evil? How does the process look? What makes a Nazi? We are not born with hate. We are taught, through titration, hate is not hate. We slowly replace the word hate with a new term: "The Greater Good."

"But history shows for the good of everyone is never good for anyone. There's a balance. Some benefit in one aspect, others in another. Diversity is color. Not Black or White, certainly not Grey. Evil dresses in Grey."

"'We stand for something, or We fall for anything.' Remember?"

"Left or Right the story is the same. Whatever the Lefthand does the Righthand disagrees with. And depending on whether the Country is Lefthanded or Righthanded at the time decides what has the best possibility of happening. But never does. Because no one will make a stand."

"We don't progress. We are a living breathing document. We breathe; therefore, We grow. America is progress. America moves forward."

"The two-party system is a simple one to understand. They are not yes or no entities at each other's throats. No. Both are for progress. Because America means forward. Each party stands for the speed at which we travel. Far Left: pedal to the metal. Far Right: sloths shoot by."

"We are heading to the same goal, the progress of the people. Not political and personal gain, not face-saving, not backwards."

"We don't keep America Great. We don't make America Great again. Great is gone and done. Greatest is finished."

"America is Greater. If we are not perpetually greater, then there's no progress. And that which does not grow festers and runs, The Dream explodes, as Langston Hughes put it so well not so long ago."

"Never whether or not we move forward, but how fast. That's Government in Our Country. That's the duty. Someone in the house pinches pennies, someone goes wild on vacation and spends some more. We should save. We should spend. There is a middle ground."

"Moderation. Moderate? Remember that word?"

"My name is Faith Esperanza James; I am an Extreme Moderate. And I am running for Senator of Our Commonwealth of Massachusetts."
